Sosban and The Old Butcher's restaurant reviews




Average rating: 4.6
This was the second time we ate here, and it certainly won’t be the last.
As this outstanding restaurant uses seasonal produce we intend on going back later in the year.
I have never eaten food like this; in fact it’s more like an explosion of all your senses rather than eating food - a truly extraordinary experience.
As this is a fixed menu, where all the diners enjoy the experience together, it’s quite a unique evening.
Stephen, the head chef and owner, who clearly has one of the most well defined palate’s along with the knowledge of science behind food and food prep, greets you with an overview of the evening to come.
You can see each course being prepped at the pass and Stephen explains the reasons, the ingredients and the process of each course along with the paired wines.
His knowledge is extensive and skills are insanely honed! Real nice guy too.
It was an absolute joy to be part of such culinary experience within such cool surroundings.
The food is the best I’ve tasted anywhere in the world and the journey he takes you on just blows your mind and your senses.
Kasabian as the soundtrack was a stroke of genius!
Service was consistently attentive and what a cool environment!
If you ever eat at one fine dining restaurant in your life, let it be this one.
