About the restaurant
Holm is inspired by nature and our surroundings in the beautiful South West of England. We are driven by provenance, sustainability and warm hospitality. Our aim is to serve delicious food and drinks in a casual yet refined environment.

The food at Holm will be driven by the seasons, the environment and our locality in the beautiful Somerset countryside. We work with local farmers, growers, butchers, gamekeepers, fishermen and anyone who shares our love of exceptional ingredients, treated with care and respect.

Our wine list is focused, well-chosen and sensibly priced with low intervention, organic and biodynamic wines from small artisanal producers.

It’s small and upstairs and friendly and welcoming. Menu designed to be for sharing, small(er) and larger dishes. Generous portions: between 3 we had 3 smaller and 2 large and over ordered. (Leftovers now in my fridge….) Everything delicious, good ‘simple’ tastes (ie not over-fancy and yet not easy to do) and beautifully cooked. Charming service.

About the restaurant
Tim Zekki was born and raised in Cyprus but has lived and worked in the UK for 35 years. He has a passion for local and seasonal ingredients, sourcing sustainable produce and items that he forages in Somerset woodlands and along the coast.

Tim’s menus reflect his travels worldwide and the food he loves. ‘My passion,’ he says, ‘is to combine simple ingredients - with some elaborate sauces - and my aim being nothing more than to delight the palate.’ In addition to the à la carte selection of sharing dishes, Tim offers a set, fixed-price multi-course menu once a month.
.

Local produce includes lamb and beef from Wonky Horn just outside Wiveliscombe, from the town’s local butchers, Thorne’s, and vegetables and salad sourced from nearby Wagtail Farm and Ray’s Veg at Halse.

About the restaurant
Located in the vaults of a historic building in the city of Bath, La Perla was established in 2011. We envisioned a place where our guests could make a visit to Spain without leaving Bath, bringing back memories as well as creating new ones, through a journey where the flavours hold the key.

About the restaurant
We want to raise awareness of the vast network of local producers and winemakers whose lives and livelihoods revolve around the treasures of the table, so we’ve thrown out our regular menu to pay homage to the culinary treasures that exist throughout Greece.
The sharing of food and conversation is a human ritual as old as time.
Meze is the ultimate expression of this passion. In the old times in Greece, the offer of numerous small selected dishes was a sign of generous hospitality. We hope you will enjoy ours…

About the restaurant
Robun is a tribute to Japanese author Kanagaki Robun and his 1872 book Seiyō ryōritsū, which introduced Western barbecue to Japan.

Our modern-day interpretation of Yakiniku specialises in sharing plates of beautiful robata grilled dished large plates fused with elements from across Asia, paired with inspired cocktails and an extensive choice of Japanese whiskeys or sake in the most inviting and sociable of settings.

Alongside our innovative selection of sashimi, salads and small plates, our fresh sushi is served in a variety of creative incarnations including soft-shell crab futomaki roll with kimchi mayo and a tobiko-topped nigiri.

Upstairs in the Kanagaki Suite, we provide an events space and Karaoke bar set to host celebrations and events, from bespoke meetings to the ultimate party.

Robun is the place to relax, unwind and enjoy sharing plates with friends and family. It will definitely leave you wanting more.

We had Beef Tataki, Prawn Kaburimaki, Grilled Octopus and Lamb Cutlets. All were tasty and nicely seasoned. Lamb and Kaburimaki were exceptional. Octopus was a bit chewy. Service was good. A bit pricey but for the quality of food that I was getting, I was very happy and would highly recommend Robun.
