About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Innovative
British seasonal tasting menus that, to avoid waste, use only one meat at a time. Situated in a beautiful Victorian building, enjoy a relaxed, thoughtful & personal dining experience providing value for money found nowhere else!

From the week of the 18th of November every Friday and Saturday dinner we will only serve our Signature Menu at £90.

Tues - Sat Dinner, & Sat Lunch | 7-course Tasting Menu | £70pp Or our Signature Menu-10-course | £90

The restaurant is produce driven; we work with the very best producers & suppliers in the UK.

The drinks list, and optional pairing, has a strong focus on drinks with low-intervention production methods. These are wines, cider & beers that are full of life & represent the way we feel all agricultural products should be made, farmed or reared: with a focus on respect - towards the natural environment and everyone involved in the process.

    Loved NEST the food, the service the cocktails everything was spot on. My only complaint, why not change the cutlery after each course? I'd prefer not to be licking the sauces of my cutlery from the previous course before starting the next one

    This was our first time visiting Nest since the move from Hackney, and we were not disappointed. Food was excellent and innovative as always. Service was excellent - our servers were all delightful. Awesome menu and wine. Couldn’t fault it, thank you!

    I ate at the original location on a number of occasions and always had memorable meals. I was concerned about a move to a larger location but the great atmosphere, service and dedication to quality was as consistent as ever. This is a a fantastic restaurant for a great meal with friends in a comfortable setting. I look forward to my next meal - perhaps during their game season.

    Never disappoints. The invention, flavours, showcasing of British produce, the wonderful low-intervention wines and, of course, the staff are all terrific. Book your table now!!
