Native

We were excited to visit Native in their new home. Previously we had celebrated our sons 21st at the Borough Market venue and never forgot how special and innovative the menu was, and once again we were ‘blown away’ with our incredible feast. We stayed in the lovely courtyard room, small bedroom but beautifully decorated and most comfortable bed. Each course of our full tasting menu was a delight, to the eyes and the taste. Our breakfast was another delicious tasting menu! A final stroll round the kitchen garden before we left. This was a very memorable stay and we would love to return.

What can I say. Beautiful, seasonal food with perfectly thought out pairings and a knowledgeable, friendly and professional team who are all too happy to help.
I won't hesitate to come back and would recommend to anyone to visit.

Incredible food, service and setting. Thoroughly recommend. A beautiful stay with exceptional breakfast too.

What a wonderful experience. The staff were so amazing throughout the whole visit. We were welcomed into the delightful courtyard where we enjoyed some delicious drinks (the gin and tonic was amazing!).

The restaurant is so beautiful with high ceilings and character. There is space in the dining area and it didn't feel like you were being crammed in to get as many diners through as possible.

I would highly recommend getting the paired wine menu if you are lucky enough to be able to. The sommelier has paired the wine so perfectly with the food - a true genius in the pairing.

The toilets are lovely and clean(and spacious).

Overall, I wouldn't hesitate in booking again! The seasonal food was superb, the atmosphere delightful and the staff were amazing.

Five of us ordered the tasting menu on Saturday & were so impressed with the experience, it was fine dining at it's highest. The attention to detail in every area of Native is exceptional. The flavours achieved in the dinning experience were wonderful & the skill of the chefs isto be admired. Front of house make you feel special from the moment you walk in to the finale. Congratulations to you all & thank you again.

Absolutely amazing, we’ve been to many 1 stars and a couple of three star Michelin restaurants and honestly this is going to be one to remember. The meal was so unique and delicious, I will be really surprised if they don’t gain their Michelin star by next year. An absolute gem can’t wait to come back again

We loved Pensons. It was a delight to have such a brilliant restaurant in our rural Hereford Worcester idyll. And such a disappointment when Pensons closed. But wow. Maybe Pensons was not good enough? Our first encounter with Native was even better. Different, yes. More imaginative. More thematic. We loved it. It's more important than ever we support this place. It is a delight.

Truthfully, I’m in two minds about whether to try to keep this (relatively) hidden gem to myself, or whether to tell you truth… which is that this is one of the best restaurants I’ve ever visited.

The ten course taster menu is… just exceptional. It’s inventive, fun, spectacular to look at and our main thought after each course was that we would happily eat the same again, several times over. Coupled with great wine and fantastic service, it just doesn’t get better.

Except it does! The setting of the restaurant, in the Worcestershire countryside is stunning. The garden, where much of the food comes from, overlooks rolling hills and is great for a pre-dinner stroll.

We stayed in one of the two rooms on site; it was beautifully decorated and the bed was extremely comfy. But to be honest it’s worth staying over just for the breakfast the next day. It’s like a tasting menu of its own. It’s one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had, anywhere. If you’re still in two minds, maybe the value for money will win you over. It’s not necessarily cheap, but for what you get it’s absolutely outstanding. House wine is available for around £6 a glass.

We have followed Native through various incarnations, from London Bridge to Osea Island in Essex, to central London and various pop-ups, but this countryside location feels like a perfect fit. So I reluctantly tell you that Native is among the very best restaurants in this, or frankly any, country. But keep it to yourself.

One amongst the prettiest and cutest restaurants in London, serving some of the most creative dishes and providing a zen experience. It is highly recommend to get their tasting menu.
Although Native might look to you at first like one of those cafes run by college students, it is much more than that. The creativity and the science in the flavours and their combinations are sure to blow you away, take you on journeys. Some dishes make you forget you are sitting in a cafe in London and mentally take you on a trip to the beach side, tropical islands and most importantly, a trip down your childhood memories.
I thoroughly enjoyed every second of my dining experience at Native, and some of my must try items from their menu are the bone marrow caramel, apple and cornish kelp sorbet and the bone marrow old fashion. These are dishes that absolutely blown me away.
Special shoutout to the friendliest owner Imogen Davis, co-owner/Chef Ivan Tisdall Downes and the kind waiter with deep knowledge on the menu, Henry Tilley

Sublime dining experience, every bite a (very pleasant) surprise! Friendly and knowledgeable staff, you can tell they have an interest in the menu concept, sustainability and creation of this setup. Gorgeous inner yard garden location, surrounded by greenery and bird songs

Well worth more than 5 stars. A current hidden gem. Get there before everyone else does!

There are literally no negatives about this place.
+ Fantastic ambiance combined with a sense of space and personal touch
+ Unbelievable food. More on this later.
+ Super friendly and professional team. Nothing left unturned.
+ Great menu with local British produce and European wines
+ Decor superb without being pretentious

The food here blew me away. Some of the flavours on the menu seem like they would go but Ivan and Imogen have brought together a place where they work. Words aren’t going to do any dish justice and photos just prove mouth watering so I suggest you get down there and give this one a go for yourself!!

My partner and I had the most wonderful evening meal here last week. The staff were super friendly and helpful, and the food was absolutely delicious. I’m vegetarian and the choices were really good. Highly recommended!

I had Native's 'Regenuary' menu yesterday and was seriously impressed. The trout with leche de tigre and labneh and the zero-waste snacks were an absolute hit, all served up in a beautiful space with warm service. We had to order the signature wood pigeon kebab for good measure and it didn't disappoint. Highly recommended!

Had the most wonderful lunch today at Native at the netherwood estate. From start to finish the food was divine. We had the short tasting menu, every course was a highlight. This is a delight to experience after the sadness of losing Pensons.
Welcome Native, see you again soon, and thank you for the most fantastic birthday lunch.

Another great meal courtesy of the folks at Native, this time took my work colleagues. The foraged forest mushroom dish was just like crunching through autumnal leaves. Inventive ingredients and happy staff - always a winner. :)

I can't recommend this restaurant enough. Even if you weren't on board with their ethical and environmental approach to sourcing food and the fact they support one of the most wonderful children's charities, the food is incredible, the staff were amazing and the garden beautiful. If you only eat in one place in London, make it Native.

Second time at Native. I love how creative the food is and how a simple waffle and be taken to the next level. The crab risotto with apple and fennel was amazing! The focaccia with confit garlic butter is something I was looking forward since the first time I went.
Try getting a table in the garden area is worth it! Beautiful place in the heart of Mayfair

Excellent place. Imaginative food well presented. Lovely setting. Excellent staff.

Incredible food experience. The set menu is well worth the time. the snacks are interesting and delightful. Plenty of food and imo exceptional value.

Creative, delicious tasting menu paired with a stunning wine selection, prepared by an inspirational head chef whose passion for foraged and native foods comes to life on the plate and the palate. The front of house team and eclectic, rustique ambiance make nat•ive the go-to venue for vibrant lunches and evening feasts. The Cornish Hake with Brown Butter was to die for, and the lemony White Choc & Mushroom Cremeaux with Kentish Wood Ants was delightful. Can’t wait to go back for more seasonal sensations. 🖤
