Steve and Jules Horrell to open Horrell & Horrell in Somerset

The eponymously named Horrell & Horrell is described as a ‘micro’ dining experience and will be located in an open-fronted barn with outdoor kitchen at the couple’s Somerset home.

Open only for dinner on Friday and Saturday evenings from 1 July, the space will serve a four-course menu and have a long sharing table that can seat up to 20 guests. The menu will centre on the week’s harvest with as much as possible sourced from the couple’s six-and-a-half acre plot that encompasses a kitchen garden, fruit and nut trees, edible hedging and a small flock of seven lambs.

Sample dishes include potato and honey flat bread with charred spring onions, garlic butter; artichoke fritti, basil mayonnaise, and parmesan; butterflied leg of home reared lamb, rosemary and garlic served with garden tomatoes, oregano and red onion, cima de rappa, garlic, chilli and pangratatto; and a dessert of chappa grilled garden fruit with homemade ice cream. Locally-made cheeses will also be served.

Guests will be welcomed with a complimentary garden spritz with the meal priced at £45 per person. Wine and drinks are BYO.

The couple have worked side by side for 15 years, most recently at Roth Bar & Grill in Bruton, where Jules was manager and Steve was chef.
