Best Contemporary British Restaurants in Claveley

Once again, it was an outstanding visit. It starts when you are recognised as a regular at the door and are given your choice of table without the need to queue. Then, when taking your order, they already know what you drink. Third, the food is fantastic: Buddha bowl, fried chicken, fries and scrambled egg on toast. All polished off with gusto. Finally, their coffee is the best I have tasted. Love this place. Love the team. Love the food.

There are few restaurants that offer such a rounded and joyful experience as Opheem. From the warm welcome on arrival, the relaxing amuse bouche and creative cocktails to the superbly attentive yet discreet staff and of course the stunning 10-course tasting menu, the enjoyment is unbounded. Aktar Islam’s creativity is genius and built on vast experience of his beloved Indian culture fused with a modern take on classics and using only the best ingredients. An absolute gem and a joy.

This is an outstanding restaurant of superb quality. Great for special occasions. Tom Shepherd and his team serve a tasting menu which consists of high quality ingredients that they seem to have extracted the maximum flavour from. Usually with a tasting menu there are one or two courses that you like a little less - but not here. All courses are, quite simply, excellent. Who knew we would be such big fans of beetroot gazpacho? You really need to taste it for yourself to appreciate how wonderful it is ...and the scallop..and the fish...and everything else really. My partner (designated driver) had the matched non alcoholic pairings and loved them -The mixologist has clearly done an excellent job Also, staff were very helpful and responded to my queries quickly when I was trying to secure a booking in the first place. Excellent customer service all round. If we were local we would definitely come here more often.

Fabulous dining experience. Delicious food and friendly prompt service. Really enjoyed and will definitely return!

Excellent food, with an excellent choice. Definitely recommend
