The Walled Gardens is a unique culinary experience from award winning chef Eddie Shepherd. Serving a modern botanical tasting menu, with either a vegetarian or vegan option, in a relaxed atmosphere.

Eddie serves just 8 guests a night, cooking and serving the 12 course menu by himself in the dining space located in the converted ground floor of his home.

It's an ambitious culinary project with unique access to the chef & has been included in several lists of the best restaurants in the country - despite not being a traditional restaurant set up.

Bookings are released 5 months in advance on the 1st of each month at midday. Demand for reservations has been extremely high and they sell out very quickly. More details on reservations and joining the cancellations waiting list are available on the reservations site.
