We make British food with a classic or modern slant. We source our ingredients from the local fields, woodlands and waters. Everything is cooked on the premises, including the sourdough bread and the icecreams.
The Good Food Guide (2023) says: "A fittingly quaint old building, complete with original features, given a suave modern twist via grey panelling and contemporary furniture. Chef-proprietor Martin Peacock has built his menu on classical French traditions and impeccable sourcing and there’s real creativity and originality on show here. The international wine list offers a decent but not overlong selection, with accessible pricing.

Vegetarian: we will always offer at least one starter and one main vegetarian choice. However, we cannot cater for vegans.

***
Please note, due to customer allergies, we cannot allow dogs on the premises.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at the Landgate Bistro as usual. Keavy and her staff and friendly and efficient and the food was delicious as always. We both really enjoyed our starter of scallop ravioli and the lemon sole was also lovely. Highly recommended.

    This is the third time we have visited Landgate and each time the food and service has been excellent. A small menu but innovative and executed brilliantly. The staff were really helpful and even phoned after we booked the restaurant to make sure they could accommodate my husband’s allergies as it was scallop week and they were doing a scallop tasting menu alongside the a la carte.

    Grapefruit as usual service at home attentive although a little slow. Busy restaurant only two serving meant that they were delayed with getting served. Excellent choice of food very imaginative and tasty good source portions

    Generally, a good meal in very pleasant surroundings. The service was generally attentive, although once we had explained that one of our party had a certain allergy, they still managed to put some of the offending article on their plate. Fortunately this error was spotted by my friend. The food was well presented and generally very good, but just short of a wow factor. Having said all that, would happily return as it was a good dinner at a very fair price.
