Whites And Patisserie

Delightful quality little restaurant. Very talented chef and small team. The 9 course taster menu was wonderful combination of many different types and style of dishes, combination of flavours and textures. All dishes are extremely well presented, both on the plate, and to table by staff. The only reason this isn't a 5 star review is the service times. For me, 3 hours is a little too relaxed.

The food is (mostly) very good but be presided for it to be exceptionally slow. 3.5 hours is pretty ridiculous for a 9 course menu.

We only recently heard about this restaurant as non vegetarian, non vegan, without allergies intolerances food wise we felt able to book. The dining room is small, comfortable smart and service was very efficient friendly. We opted for the 9 course tasting menu we weren’t disappointed. Highlights were the asparagus mousse- so smooth with intense flavour, the wild garlic veloute the melting smoked cheddar, the tete du moine with truffled honey-great demonstration of how 2 ingredients can make a yummy dish. Great food, enjoyable experience apart from a fellow diner who was loud, opinionated, an expert in everything and a pompous bore) Good value for money at £75 for the 9 courses plus 4 canapés, we will return

We were bought vouchers for Whites for Christmas and were looking forward to our visit. We love tasting menus and when we travel we look for really good restaurants. We found Whites to be average overall. The canapés were great, but after that we were disappointed with the flavours, the pork dish definitely needed a jus with it just to add further depth.

We had the 4 course tasting menu (available Wednesdays and Thursdays) which was wonderful. We started with 3 complementary canapés along with a home made loaf of bread all delicious. This was followed by a soup, fish course, meat course and dessert all of which contained some lovely tastes. The service was excellent. We asked the chef to suggest which wine would be best with our menu and he went for a very reasonable white. When we booked we were asked about any allergies and dislikes and these were followed to the letter. It’s quite small and the atmosphere is friendly if somewhat quiet. A really lovely couple of hours.
