    My husband and I shared an excellently cooked and rested Cote de Boeuf. The passion fruit soufflé was incredible. The staff were all lovely and we had a very enjoyable evening.

    We had a delicious meal at High Street Kitchen, a really interesting menu which all tasted amazing. Service was great too, they went over & above to make sure we had a great evening. Really nice touch to meet the chef at the end, such a talented cook and so much enthusiasm for his craft & ingredients.

    This place is worth the visit, give it a try. The menu isn't huge, which in my book is a massive plus. They go with the food that is local and in season. The wine was great, we were allowed to taste by the bottle options (never experienced that before) - because they just want you to have a nice experience. It is not cheap, but I would rather pay an extra £8 for a main course than eat most of the rubbish you get else where... If you love good food and don't mind splashing out a little, go here. Will be heading back for a roast here, very soon (after having a rubbish roast in Montys Inn, Beaulieu earlier today!)

    Fantastic as always. The salmon starter was so much more refined then anywhere else and the venison main course was the best venison I’ve eaten this year. Really enjoyed the banana souffle too. And such a good wine list
