Rather good news to digest

It's an honour to be recognised among some of the South West's most celebrated restaurants and chefs. Earlier this year, we were featured in the Trencherman's Guide, much like our Michelin Guide announcement, and now we have the chance to celebrate another milestone with you. We are nominated for Best Trencherman's Newcomer 2026.

We wanted to share this because, truthfully, you're part of it. The evenings you've spent with us, the conversations over good food, the moments that have filled our dining room with warmth and returned again and again, they've shaped who we've become. If Emberwood has given you something worth remembering, we'd love your vote.

Voting opens January 12th and runs through February 11th. If we make the shortlist, there's a second round from February 18th to March 10th.

Each vote requires a unique email address, and if you feel moved to share this with friends or family who've dined with us, that would mean the world.

This recognition reflects not just our work, but the community that's gathered around our table. We'd be honoured to have your support as we take this next step together.

Voting is now open, you'll find the link here
