"Don't come here expecting to grab a quick bite and not book.. ..... The Heritage is a place to relax and savour every mouthful of food whilst being looked after by a really friendly team. The restaurant has a good balance of formal and relaxed....the service is attentive but not starchy and uncomfortable. The food is amazing.... We have lived here a long time and have been thankful that Matt and his team arrived and breathed life back into this previously boarded up building with an extraordinary amount of energy. They haven't excluded villagers from going into the bar and having a drink and we often do . It's good to see an eclectic mix of clientelle all there with a common aim...to enjoy a memorable and special dining experience in the beautiful surroundings of the village. Amused by an earlier rather sour review about twitching curtains in the village we feel compelled to say that the Heritage has brought a rather more considerate visitor that is careful not to block driveways and generally respect the pretty surroundings. We also know getting accidentally stuck up a road that turns into a bridleway can be stressful.....my husband has on occasions reversed the odd car down for a bewildered visitor because it can get a bit tight if there happens to be a wedding at the church. Just leave a little time for the whole dining experience......No one rushes you out of your seat and the table is yours for the evening. It is well worth coming ."

Really nice venue and fabulous food. Expensive but with such care and attention, it's what I would expect. I had a 9 course tasting menu with some exquisite choices.

Incredible food and service! I’m pregnant and I loved that they offered a non alcoholic beverage pairing with the food. I would definitely recommend and we’ll be coming back in the future!

We enjoyed a fantastic meal at this restaurant, delivered with an authentic smile. The food was delightful, fulfilling, and adventurous without being odd or overly extravagant. It was truly excellent.

I visited with my family on Mothers Day, what an absolutely amazing place. Firstly i have to mention the greeting from the front of house was brilliant and continued throughout the whole of our visit. The food was outstanding, compliments to the Chef, the Cocktails a different level. We will 100% be booking again. Thanks to you all. View menu

I’ve been lucky enough to have had some great meals at great restaurants this wasn’t one of them. Leaking urinals (and therefore smelly toilet), dirty menus, not enough wine menus for every table and food disappointing, especially the super thick honeycomb dome on the desert that I had to “hammer through”. Oh and white wine served too warm. Not priced suitably for the quality.

Had the heritage menu, few dishes way too salty, few odd (not sure about the celeriac merengue and ice cream), monk fish was nice, steak a bit chewy. Had a nice night even though the food was not really to our liking, a bit of a shock when presented with a bill with a suggested 17.5% service charge which was very presumptuous! Certainly been to better restaurants for fine dining who charged less. Worth going for the experience but sad to say won’t be back

I want to extend a special thanks to Kit, our wine steward. Her knowledgeable and enthusiastic presentation of the wines and pairing with the food was outstanding. When we were asked which dish we liked best, I honestly couldn't choose a favorite. However, I can confidently say that there were three ladies in our group who typically avoid oysters, and the tempura oyster changed their minds entirely—it was simply stunning. Thank you for a wonderful experience; I eagerly look forward to my next visit! View menu

We've just had the most fantastic food at Heritage. Matt has upped his game again. Usually, there is one dodgy dish on a tasting menu. But not this one. Each dish improved on the last. The crab was delicious, then the prawn, which was then beaten by the Pidgeon, and still the dishes kept coming and culminated in the pea pudding... Such is a revelation. The wine/cocktail pairing was also so complimentary of the food. Well done to the whole team. Who had it bad today, with the power cut threatening to close the restaurant entirely! Thank you, thank you thank you. Boo Rob

I visited for lunch with my wife to celebrate her birthday. We sampled five incredible dishes that were absolutely delicious. The chef is exceptionally talented, and the staff are all warm and welcoming. The venue itself is beautiful, complete with a cozy roaring fire. I highly recommend arriving early for a drink before your meal, and it's a nice option to stay for a drink afterward as well. The quality of the food is outstanding, especially considering the price. It’s a fantastic choice for a romantic dinner or even a business lunch. I definitely plan to return to try the seven-course meal; I’m not sure I could manage the nine courses, but it would be great to attempt it. The restaurant is...

"This was the best meal I have ever eaten. Firstly Ben Wilkinson at the pass is quite a new restaurant and a lot of these reviews are not reflective of this as I believe the restaurant has changed a lot since Covid. It has recently won a Michelin star and the current menu is deserving of this. My wife and I had the 7 course tasting menu which was exquisite. The layout of the restaurant is also carefully thought out with glass surrounding an intimate setting so that you can watch the courses in the kitchen being prepared. Every course is completely unique and is delivered and explained to you by a different chef, who all rotate around the tables which I particularly liked. The food speaks for itself. I won't list every course but the standout was the beef cheek and celeriac. Absolutely divine. The snacks which come before the first course were also out of this world. We didn't opt for the wine pairing but enjoyed quite a few cocktails instead, all which were faultless. The only downside to this is how full we both felt at the end; a very nice problem to have. Having been to other Michelin star restaurants the Pass for me is the best so far, and the chilled out setting I actually prefer to something grander. Overall an exceptional experience that I couldn't recommend highly enough. Vegetarian options: I wouldn't recommend a tasting menu to any vegetarian as it's designed to incorporate a lot of different animal products into a piece of art"
