At The Woods

Allow Luke and Curtis to take you on a culinary journey that is inspired and shaped by their careers as successful restauranteurs. At the Woods is their latest venture that puts natural beauty within touching distance in Gas Street Basin.

They started out as a cosy coffee shop and today they're a bustling restaurant that is lush with plants and greenery. Their name should give you a clue about what you can expect in terms of décor, and they do not disappoint. Large and open-plan, At the Woods gives diners the luxury of endless space in which they can dine in what feels like a perfectly manicured forest punctuated by softly-glowing bulbs and happy chatter. It's at once revitalising and energising.

It should come as no surprise that the menu is shaped by the seasons. The starters kick dinner off on a tasty note with the likes of forest nachos - so called because they're topped with nettle sour cream, your choice of meat and guacamole. You also have the charmingly-named hedgehog potatoes, creamy mushroom terrine with toast, and pulled venison-stuffed Yorkshire puddings.

Mains are equally as wild and wonderful. Prime game takes the spotlight here with the Wild Woods Duck with seasonal vegetables and wild berries, venison steak with a signature sauce, and British pheasant with creamy mash. From the farm comes house steak, crispy chicken burgers and Yorkshire pudding wrap (a lifechanger), from the sea stunning fillets of salmon and seabass, and from the field beetroot and quinoa burgers, mushroom risotto and stuffed mushrooms.

Who knows what delights your next trip into the woods will bring.
