This was my first visit to Hern, which I was surprised to discover had been going for around six years. How have I missed it? I went with friends and had the small menu of four courses for £45 per person. Wine flight was optional as was a cheese course. The food was delicious and unusual in its ingredients, with us asking our waiter what it was we had eaten. "Pangrattato" been one such element. The dessert got a comment from my friend of "this is a showstopper." This was strawberry ice cream with strawberries and fig leaf granita. The ice cream being homemade. The whole meal was light and I left feeling happy, satisfied and not uncomfortably full. It was a really nice evening with good food. It is, however, not a cheap night once you add drinks and a gratuitie. Well worth it in my humble opinion.
This was a great find! We enjoyed the vegetarian tasting menu and were sufficiently full. The main (pictured) tasted slightly undercooked, and the restaurant was rather warm, but the service more than made up for this and did not detract from our evening. Would return!
Hern is everything a neighbourhood bistro should be: - great but unfussy service - tasty food cooked incredibly well - a short menu that makes sense and prioritises seasonal produce - good wine
Honestly one of the best dining experiences I’ve had. As I have a dairy intolerance I was nervous about a set menu, but when we arrived I had my own printed menu with real adjustments made rather than just items removed! We felt so looked after and the food was incredible - it’s obvious that Hern really value where they obtain their produce. Can’t wait to come back soon!
Incredible food- menu changes more or less every week and there’s a set menu that can be adapted for allergies/requirements. Really small place with great service and a good range of natural wines. 100% recommend!
