An extraordinary dining experience awaits in the 'field kitchen' which serves up a Sunday feast, showcasing the seasonal vegetables they grow in the fields around it
Nestled in the midst of a huge vegetable farm is one of the region's quirkiest new additions to the dining scene. Groobarbs Field Kitchen is a restaurant quite unlike any other, based in a huge barn on a farm in High Legh surrounded by the growing fruit and veg crops like kale, cauliflowers and rhubarb.
Heading up the kitchen and responsible for the weekly rotating menu is local chef Mark Price, back in the North West after previous time as head chef at Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s River Cottage Canteen. Diners get to see him at work in the large open kitchen, running almost the full length of the venue and sitting at the heart of the "modern rustic barn".
Our meal started with a sharing bowl of kale pakora - a delicious mix of spice and crisp fried florets of the green veg that we had spied through the large windows at the head of the converted barn. Well, I say spied. We are then given two massive bowls of sharing vegetables alongside - field-fresh mixed greens and a simply divine creation of chilli-spiced celeriac that made me see this particular veg in an entirely new light. It was the perfect match for the beef, like a pimped up roast parsnip if you will.
To keep with the local theme, beers are from breweries at Dunham Massey and Lymm, while I was surprised to see every wine on the list was from Staffordshire. A glass of the English sparkling was a brilliant start to the meal, while the Penny Red was an excellent match for the Sunday roast.
