Fantastic restaurant, great tasting menu by chef Michael Fowler! We went here for my father's birthday, and were just looking for somewhere relatively different which did nice food — had heard about Glewstone so booked. There was no requirement to let them know in advance which menu we preferred, so on arrival we were warmly welcomed, and seated by the log burner with pre-dinner drinks while we looked through the menu options (a la carte, 4-course tasting, or 6 — course tasting menus). In the end, we mainly had the 4-course option. Prior to being taken through to the dining room we had canapes which were delicious. The dining room is well set out, and tables not too close together. We were presented with handmade bread for the table, which was lovely. Each course was fantastic — we can highly recommend the diver scallop — wow! My main was the 42-day aged beef and was a perfect portion size and tasted amazing. I chose the cheese option instead of dessert, and was then presented with a cheese menu to select from! Fantastic, and can definitely recommend this — served with quality biscuits, quince, grapes, and celery it was the perfect end to a great evening. Apparently the 7 chocolate dessert option was well worth trying too, for those of you with a sweet tooth. From the moment we arrived, until departure, every member of staff made us feel very welcome, and we were very well looked after without it being obtrusive. I would highly recommend a visit, and would definitely recommend the tasting menu from chef Michael Fowler — he never fails to deliver! Well done to all the team there, we'll be back (very soon).
