  1. Oh, I wish I could drive all the way down for opening night but it's midweek, I'm in London. Definite no go!

    But would LOVE to come sometime soon so will work out a weekend trip especially!

  5. Good luck for the opening night! One comment is that the small print on the menu is quite difficult to read...
    Will get a date sorted in our diary for a visit. Matt

  6. Absolutely awesome Mat! Really happy that you have got this all together. I don't watch reality TV usually (don't have a TV), but when a friend told me a forager was on Masterchef I couldn't resist! So my OH and I watched religiously, whooping as you rose up the ranks to become Numero Uno. Fantastic to watch.

    I film foragers down here in the South West and would love to come over and do a short video interview with you. If this is something you would be interested in pursuing, then I can get you out to my 3000+ wild food addicts newsletter.

    You can reach me on http://www.eatweeds.co.uk/contact/.

    Will book a table shortly (I know folk say that, but I need to arrange dates first) 'cos I'm bringing along my parents-in-law who will go bonkers!

  15. Hello Mat,
    I followed you through to the final of masterchef and am delighted to hear you are opening a restaurant.
    I gave up eating out without a guide as I have had so many disappointments. The Good Pub Guide was my salvation as I like an informal setting but high quality and that's a rare combination.
    I am thrilled that someone with your talent and flair is in business! In my experience if the food is good you'll have no trouble getting those regulars.
    All the best, Helen .

  16. Kia ora Mat,

    the menu looks wonderful - and I can't spot anything on there that'll scare the locals too much.

    All the best with the opening,

  19. Hi Mat, just a quick note to say that we had an absolutely fantastic lunch today. I'd like to single something out, but all 6 of us had equally brilliant meals, so it would be unfair to (although the smoked mash was simply awesome!!). Well done, glad its all going so well. Rach and I will be back really soon (on the motorbike this time!!)
