A friendly and bucolic winery restaurant that truly walks the farm-to-table walk.
Sure, you’ve eaten lamb before, but have you eaten lamb like the grass-fed, free-range, estate-reared lamb at regenerative farm and winery, Glenarty Road? One of only two meats regularly served here – the other is pork, also raised on site – its rich flavour comes from a life well-lived.
A theme that carries across all the produce served at this pretty refurbished farm shed is that almost everything hitting your plate is grown metres from the door. Perhaps springy sorrel leaves and broad beans, clustered by a cheddar cheese tart. Or a thicket of honey-roasted carrots beside a splodge of macadamia toum. A medley of butter-poached asparagus and radish with a garden-green velouté. Without exception, everything that chef Adam Court fashions into his five ever-changing courses tastes deeply and wholeheartedly of itself.
There’s plenty of heart, too: look out for co-owner Ben McDonald’s surfboard packed into the rafters, and charming country details such as the pressed-tin walls in the bathrooms. Add a strong range of homegrown wines crafted by winemaker and co-owner Sasha McDonald, a service team who are as equally excited about what they’re bringing to the table as you will be to eat it, and you have one of the South West’s true jewels.
