Average rating: 4.8
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
If I could give six stars, I would! I wish I could move here and eat at The Free Company every day.
Highlights:
- Beautifully curated menu and dining experience
- Wonderful selection of dishes
- Local produce and top quality ingredients
- Friendly and prompt service
- An experience that you won't forget
From start to finish, the experience was wonderful. The menu is beautifully curated, with a fantastic selection of seasonal dishes showcasing local produce and top-quality ingredients. It’s the kind of menu you want to linger over, choosing a few plates to share and enjoy with friends.
We began with soft drinks each one a burst of flavour and creativity. The charcuterie board was excellent, especially the speck, paired with a thoughtful selection of pickles. The Porchetta was a real highlight; as an Italian, I can say it was outstanding, herbs and ingredients used with such skill. Even the Yorkshire pudding, which I’m usually not a fan of, won me over. The hogget was another standout dish, cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious.
The service was friendly, attentive, and prompt, adding to the relaxed yet special atmosphere. And the location itself is idyllic, truly a place to savour both food and setting.
This is not just a meal, it’s an experience you won’t forget. Wholeheartedly recommended.
