BACK TO OUR ROOTS
And one can say this with some confidence as the jewel in the Dorset crown has been established for ten years and is as fresh and as innovative as it was on day one!
Chef owners Jan and Stacey Bretschneider run a kitchen that feels like it is be manned by scores of Michelin starred chefs – when indeed it is still just the two of them – if they are not cooking, the restaurant is closed. It’s a simple as that – and that is about the only simple thing amongst the perfection that is Roots.
Designed on a seven-course taster menu, avoiding any confusion, the restaurant delivers the most stunning dishes both on the eye, and palate, at one cost.
Match that with a wine pairing of superb magnitude and you have the perfect evening. Roots is a treat by anyone’s standards, and with only 20 covers and opening five days a week including an eminently traditional Sunday lunch menu.
The restaurant is sophisticated, reflecting the style that Jan purveys throughout the lunch or evening. Book your table in good time as the Roots diary gets reassuringly booked up, and don’t be afraid of dining there regularly – as many customers do, the menu is a rainbow of wonder, change and seasonal delights – prepared beautifully and artistically, it has to be said, as only Jan can...
Roots is exclusive and emits an air of anticipation, even after ten years, because one day, one day soon, that Michelin Star will be coming Jan and Stacey’s way, of that you can be sure.
