Gosh we were thrilled with our meals at this intimate little restaurant and the service was excellent and friendly. The use of herbs was particularly appreciated.

Wild Thyme is a small unpretentious restaurant in a lovely town. The food is excellent and different from the norm and we were made to feel very welcome. Because it is quite small they are able to provide personal service. We were there mid-week and there were plenty of other diners which suggests its popularity is high. This is a... More

A charming and intimate restaurant. The service was fantastic, and the food was mouthwatering, especially the original pudding options. My advise would be to book a table in advance as this restaurant is, unsurprisingly popular, and also to book a taxi in advance if travelling via taxi from nearby villages as they are few and far between.

An imaginative menu Fresh well cooked ingredients, generous portions, attentive service and excellent wine list - we had a stunning red from Chile - I have just ordered a case. Only criticism is the generous monkfish tails were much too salty, but this had just been introduced as a dish and the owner said she would refer this back to... More

We wished we were restaurant critics, so that we could do justice to the Wild Thyme. If you can get to Chippy, go there – but be warned, you’ll be lucky to get in unless you book. We stayed overnight last Saturday – we were lucky to get the room, everywhere else was full. As was the restaurant. When we... More

This is the second time I have eaten here and the second visit was just as spectacular as the first. I absolutely love this restaurant. The food is exquisite, the service is warm and friendly and the atmosphere is calm and unpretentious. The menu is fresh, seasonal and creative but not OTT and every dish is just bursting with flavour.... More

Food and service just excellent. Venue a little too cosy to fully lay back and enjoy. Go for the back room for more space.

This is the third time we've been and my second review of Wild Thyme but I cannot praise it highly enough - what do you need more than fantastic friendly service, decent prices and outstanding cooking - the chef is a genius- say no more!!!!

We had read a good review in one of the week-end newspaper supplements. It was every bit as good as we had hoped. Service was prompt and friendly and we were encouraged to return and stay in their accommodation next time. I suppose that I have to flag up that it is probably not the best place if you have...
