Hencote

You're driving out towards the village of Atcham, past the rolling fields that remind you why people move to Shropshire in the first place. Hencote sits nestled in proper countryside, and that's precisely the point—this isn't some city-centre restaurant playing at rusticity. The kitchen sources directly from the land around it, which means your dinner changes with the seasons and genuinely reflects what's growing nearby. It's the kind of place where you dress up a bit, the service knows what it's doing, and you're not paying London prices for the privilege.
