About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
Horsforth-born Matt Healy, known from MasterChef: The Professionals, has come home to Horsforth!

Matt’s ‘food to swear by’ brand has made a real impact on the Leeds dining scene, earning him a 2024 Michelin Plate for the 3rd consecutive year and a mention in The Good Food Guide. His focus on modern British cooking has won over both diners and critics alike.

MasterChef judge Marcus Wareing praised Matt’s sauces as “some of the best he had ever tasted,” while Jay Rayner’s Guardian review simply said, “Bloody hell, that’s good”—though not quite in those exact words.

With experience working alongside some of the best in the industry, Matt’s bringing together a talented team to deliver excellent food and service right here in Horsforth.

    Sunday roast was fantastic. Yorkshire pudding a little disappointing but the rest very tasty. Creme brulee was outrageously good. No zero alcohol options that we could see on the menu will definitely return

    Fantastic food - it’s small plates which were great for getting several and sharing - soy salmon, truffle potatoes, poached pears were all delicious to name a few. Tho to be fair it feels mean to leave out the roasted cod, chicken and the amazing boards!!! Relaxed informal atmosphere and the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable.
