This was a very unique and enjoyable evening, filled with excellent food and good company. The food was very tasty and of gourmet standard, with plenty to fill even the largest of appetites. The setting was magical , like a romantic medieval banquet. Candle lit and rustic. There's not many restaurants where you can converse with the chef whilst he cooks in front of you. Thank you Hugh for a very special evening.

The food was mind-blowing, the atmosphere was so relaxing and friendly. Well worth booking and going. I WILL HIGHLY RECOMMEND Off Grid Gourmet for an evening and food you'll never forget. I will be going again!

Just wow. A culinary feast with a very talented and humble chef. It was remarkable how much Hugh did by himself, the food just kept on coming and was some of the best food I had ever tasted. Rib of beef, the most incredible artichoke and truffle tart, massive chunks of cheese, it was such a lovely surprise to not know what was going to be put down on the table. You share dishes with others on the table, it was lovely to talk to everyone. Just hope that you?re in the same night as people who really appreciate the concept and the talent on show, because it?s such an amazing shared experience. We will be back with family and friends, totally worth the 2 hour drive.

Everything that I had read about. Fabulous setting off the beaten track, really chilled pace to the evening and then the food... An impressive spread doesn't really do it justice. If you are looking for a different, refreshing dining experience then you will struggle to better this.

More of a banquet than a meal. Hugh is a fantastic chef who provided a vast range of food (delicious meat, vegetarian, pescatarian, and gluten-free dishes). The mushroom bread and butter pudding with mushroom sauce, and the harissa stood out for me. The icing on the cake was the take away boxes at the end. [Remind me to skip the marshmallows next time!]

Absolutely incredible. Could not fault its from start to finish. The atmospherics and beautifully thought of courses only add to a fantastic evening. All credit to Hugh (chef) who not only cooks and prepares the food in front of you but is also hosting and serving at the same time. Highly recommended. I'll definitely be back.

The venue, the food and the service Hugh provides is stonking, I belong to an informal group of kayakers and we have been booking The Off Grid Gourmet every year for 5 years , it is that good! You may be paying for a 4 course meal but you get about 15 choices within that and all are top notch nosh!

Apparently the chef was having a rough night - not that any of us could tell, as the food was fantastic! My annoying dietary requirements were even catered for, which I massively appreciate. Wonderful food, a gorgeous setting, and a lovely social atmosphere. Highly recommend!Dietary restrictions: I'm lactose and gluten intolerant. Chef was warned of this in advance and he was able to make options perfect for me.

What a night. From the minute we arrived until the minute we left we absolutely loved the experience. The food was delicious, packed with rustic flavours and great ambience. We sat at a table with people we could chat away with whilst enjoying each others company too. This isn?t just a meal it?s an experience. Thank you Hugh for a brilliant night

First visit to this interesting restaurant. Hugh is a great cook and host, he single handedly served a delicious array of imaginative courses while managing to chat to this guests. The rustic barn/shed had great atmosphere and my group of four were lucky to be joined by other guests who shared our love of food which made conversation flow as everyone sits at one large table. Very good value for money and even better it's BYO.
