The Woodsman
A Michelin Guide-recommended English restaurant serving farm-to-table food and woodland game, cooked over charcoal, right opposite Shakespeare's New Place.
Located in the historic wing of the Hotel Indigo and run by restaurateur Mike Robinson. Listed in the Michelin Guide and holding two AA Rosettes. Dishes are mostly grilled over wood-fired charcoal, such as skate wing and partridge, with an emphasis on using the whole animal. Sunday lunch features a traditional English roast. The timber-framed old building has a lively atmosphere, and the service is attentive. Prices are on the higher side, so book dinner in advance. Located on Chapel Street, just one street from the site of Shakespeare's New Place, and within walking distance of the theatre.
