We have retained our Michelin Bib Gourmand!

October 6, 2018/in Uncategorized/by bardenTB76

We are thrilled to have retained our Michelin Bib Gourmand for yet another year.

The Bib Gourmand’s are awarded to places which serve good food at affordable prices. We were first awarded a Bib in 2013, a year after opening, and have retained the accolade ever since.

Ben said: “Fantastic news this week – the Bib is here for another year! I’m so proud of the whole team who work really hard to make sure that our food is of a consistently high standard. In the restaurant industry consistency is everything, so to maintain this accolade for a sixth year is a brilliant endorsement.”

We will be celebrating with a special opportunity to enjoy some of Ben’s favourite winter fish dishes matched with wine. Watch this space for more info, as we will be taking bookings (limited availability) soon.

The kind of job that makes afternoons longer and breaks shorter. 

Time-lapse makes it look easy. Ben might disagree.

Just another day getting ready for service at the Tolcarne.

There are photographs that capture more than a moment. This is Ben and me in 2003 — already some way into our story, though with so much of it still ahead of us.

In my latest *Seasonal Notes*, I look back over the years, the seasons and the experiences that shaped us — and at the continuing search for that elusive “perfect year”.

One of those views that makes you pause for just a little longer.
