We are excited to announce that award winning restaurant, the Artichoke, set in the beautiful market town of Old Amersham, has revealed its new extended space together with sumptuous contemporary interiors. Those who have dined before will notice the fluid addition with its soothing and muted colours which compliments the already carefully considered décor. The gorgeous ‘Living Wall’ of herbs is still in place, and you are now seated in either the 'Garden Dining Room’, or the 'Kitchen Dining Room, where you can view Laurie and his team hard at work in the open kitchen and reserve one of the Chef's Table, a great option for sampling the innovative tasting menus. There is also the ‘Wine Dining Room’ on the first floor leading to the well stocked cellar, perfect for sophisticated business dining, private celebrations and wine events. Chef/owner Laurie Gear oversees the refined modern European menu filled with not only charming seasonal additions but foraged herbs, berries and flowers.

We did the vegetarian tasting menu. Two dishes, the mushroom Linguini and the blue cheese panna cotta, blew us away.

It’s great to see The Artichoke surviving these difficult Covid times. The service (even behind the visors) is high quality and unobtrusive. The food, as ever, is prepared with care and tastes great (I recommend the courgette flower starter). It’s a step above all other restaurants within 10 miles. Highly recommended.

We had a fantastic evening at The Artichoke. The atmosphere, despite Covid restrictions, was warming, welcoming and friendly. The restaurant was busy (in a safe way!) and there was a really good buzz. The staff were really attentive without being over the top and we felt very looked after the entire night. We all had the 8 course tasting menu with wine flight and it was amazing from start to finish. It was our first experience in a Michelin star restaurant and it didn't disappoint! However, there was no sense of snobbery or stuffiness about the experience; it was relaxing, fun and delicious! We didn't feel rushed either and spent a wonderful three hours or so enjoying the fantastic food and wine provided to us. We will definitely back again in the future and we'd recommend anyone to give it a go!
