    Wonderful lunch at The Highstreet Kitchen yesterday. Attentive service and dishes altered to accommodate my food intolerances which I had previously messaged about. Delicate and beautiful presented dishes using locally sourced ingredients. Wonderful freshly caught local fish was the highlight for us as well as a specially made gluten free desert. Will be returning soon.

    My husband and I shared an excellently cooked and rested Cote de Boeuf. The passion fruit soufflé was incredible. The staff were all lovely and we had a very enjoyable evening.
