We had a lovely weekend away at this quiet and peaceful shephards hut. It was comfortable and had everything we needed. Paul was an excellent and attentive host.
We also had a 6 course meal, which was not only a delicious meal, but a lovely experience as well. We were aloud to walk around the garden between courses. Overall it was a unique, personal and lovely experience.

What a delightful dining experience we had in Paul and chef Kerry?s lovely old home. The food was amazing especially the cheese soufflé, we will definitely be back again.

Six of us had dinner at the Upper Rectory last night. It was a perfect choice for a gathering of old university friends, to have a lengthy and relaxed dinner.
The set menu was perfect, allowances were made for the dietary requirements we?d noticed them of in advance. Each course was delicious, and timed to perfection. The wine menu was varied and suited us.
Highly recommended.

The most relaxing dining in the wonderful eclectic home of chef Kerry and front of house Paul. The food is outstanding, beautifully presented with delightful flavours. There is true passion in every dish with the added bonus of fresh grown produce from their garden. A must visit whenever in the area

Absolutely excellent evening shared with friends during a weekend away. Warm and friendly greeting, made to feel very welcone by Paul, and Eric the cat! Nibbles on arrival, followed by a series of delicious courses. Its a set menu where all guests eat at the same time in the cosy dining room. I'm veggie and my alternative starter and main dishes were excellent. A really enjoyable evening. Great value too.

Beautiful house ( old Rectory ) in a stunning setting. The food was one of the best I?ve ever eaten in the area. Amazing value for money. The vegetable garden is a ?must see? , I recommend the short walk to it before you tuck into your dessert. Can?t wait to try the homegrown artichokes and homemade butter. What a treat ! thank you for a great evening

We wanted a special menu with plenty of choice for a friend?s big birthday, and Upper Rectory delivered. Nothing fazed them: when some members of the party announced dietary needs or wanted something even fancier at the last minute, their flexibility and genuine attention was refreshing. I?m also impressed with their locally sourced produce and generous portions. Thank you!

We had the Christmas Day Menu and it was absolutely gorgeous!!
Made Christmas Day extra special. We were supplied with everything we needed including sauces, drizzles, side salads and nibbles before dinner. The food was outstanding, delicious and so flavourful.
All the instructions to re heat were spot on and made it so easy! Real easy collection all packaged and awaiting our collection in a box outside the property.
Thank you so much Upper rectory for making our Christmas Day so special. Will definitely be using you in the future.

We had Upper Rectory @ Home last night, and we couldn?t think how it could be made better. The portions were generous and the cooking and timings had all been really well thought through. The food was all delicious with lots of home grown elements. The lemon mousse was especially good!

Lovely dine-at-home meal. Clear and sensible instructions (all the parts of all the main courses at the same oven temperature for different times), and delicious food (the twice-baked cheese soufflé was a particular highlight). Lots of very fresh veg. Would recommend!
