Hammer & Pincers
Inspected by
Inspector comments
"Crystal clear flavours and textures."
Overview
Occupying the former village forge, Hammer & Pincers has morphed into a charming restaurant-with-rooms, with exposed beams, midnight blue walls, comfy leather seats and wood tables adding ample rustic charm. Creative modern British dishes are precisely executed with well-defined flavours and an Asian influence. Choose from a range of menus, including grazing and set-menu options, and set off with a fresh and vibrant opener of tuna tartare pointed up with miso and wasabi. Next up, beef fillet en croûte is a flavour-packed affair with porcini mushroom duxelles, buttery fondant potato and caramelised shallot.
