Reviews

"Local produce is the mainstay of Neil's menus, ... heirloom tomatoes bursting with sweet ripeness, served with goat's curd and pesto, or cured sea trout with blood orange in hazelnut dressing, are simple fresh intros to mains such as halibut on the bone with asparagus and brown shrimps, or perhaps a sturdy meat dish like salty-skinned duck breast on hispi cabbage with potato gratin in a thyme-scented red wine jus."
"The winner is Hitchen’s Barn in Oakham, which impressed with its good-quality seasonal cooking, local sourcing, and convivial service and atmosphere.
​
All of the Finalists greatly impressed the judges, with each striving successfully to create a special and individual dining experience. Moreover, the food cooked by all four venues was of excellent quality. But it’s Hitchen’s Barn that takes the title of Great Food Club Casual Dining Restaurant of the Year 2020/21.
"Named after Bibendum – the Michelin Man – our Bib Gourmand distinction highlights restaurants offering ‘good quality, good value cooking’ at £30 or under for 3 courses, and is a hit among our readers. 22 restaurants have been newly honoured for 2020."
