The excitement and anticipation that comes with growing vegetables, and creating innovative plates is translated to our guests through our menu. The plant to plate narrative is at the centre of what we do; our chefs show our local organic farmers a nod of respect towards the passion and patience required to grow a plant, in each dish they create. The seasons dictate our menu, with passion, flavour and creativity at the heart of the operation. This passion flows through our love of organic, and low intervention wines from small producers, carefully selected and paired with our food. Our very own indoor vertical farm is our most recent dedication to sustainable practices, allowing us to grow our own bespoke exotic herbs and aromatics for our hyper-seasonal food and cocktail menus, with zero food miles and incomparable flavour.

Fantastic experience and service. Plenty of staff who were attentive providing excellent service, but not over the top. Super fast knowledgeable of the food and drinks. The wait time was minimal, the presentation of the food and flavours were fantastic. Definitely one for the special occasion.

First time at the Fig Tree and certainly hope that it wont be the last. It was part of our 52nd Wedding Anniversary celebrations, and went as a couple - having read the reviews and looking for something special. We had the "Tasting Menu" with the wine flight and were not at all disappointed. Thank you everyone, see you again soon.

It was a wonderful evening and the food and service fantastic . The only disappointment came from my 18 yo daughter , her friend and my son who is older were ID checked and because they didn’t have their passports or any ID with them , they were refused wine with their meal and any drinks which slightly changed the celebratory occasion. We don’t normally drink but on a special night out we would not have expected to have this to have been refused. I belive that they should tell diners when booking g that without ID they will be refused alcohol . Never has this ever happened before in my life time of dining out with my family. I am 56 and my husband 66 so it was a shock.
