Great food made from excellent ingredients accompanied by wonderful service.
We opted for the chefs choice of six dishes, one of us being pescatarian, and everything was delicious from fresh oysters through to strawberries and cream... I am under selling it ....every dish was well balanced and full of flavour.
Service was not only with a smile, attentive but not over the top, but also providing a full description of each and every course and the elements it contained.  A lovely meal, and we will be back when we are next in the area.

Just had a birthday lunch at this new restaurant and it exceeded our expectations. The food, drinks, service and ambience were all first class and the best we've experienced in Louth in the past seven years. The only negative was the pop music from the speaker above our table was a bit loud for conversation, but the waitress turned it down accordingly and checked with us if it was ok, so she turned a negative into a positive. This is not a restaurant that skimps on quality, so it's pricier than other restaurants around, but it is very good value for money given the overall experience and very high quality of the food offerings.

"Menu du Jour" for two, covers all the options, so we tried everything between us.  Already booked a return visit with friends. Highly recommended!

New venture for the chef and family. Food very good as you'd expect from a chef who was formally head chef at a Michelin star restaurant.
Covers are split over two floors.
Choice to select your own dishes "al a carte" or go for the "chefs choice" which is a tasting menu.
Definitely worth a visit and no doubt will be listed in all the food guide books very soon

I’ve previously dined at Winteringham Fields so I was very excited to try top notch dining in a slightly more relaxed and informal setting by a chef with a Michelin background. I wasn’t disappointed, excellent food at a reasonable price.

Upstairs seating is up a steep and narrow set of stairs so will not be suitable for those with mobility issues- however there is also downstairs seating so please specify downstairs seating when making a reservation if accessibility is important to you.
