While the 18th century Manor House and The Owner’s Cottage reflect their Huguenot heritage, The Restaurant and wine tasting area of Grande Provence project a chic industrial presence.

High-backed chairs upholstered in white leather draw the eye to the centre of the deep blue-grey hand-plastered walls, while deeply recessed windows frame the picturesque view from the interior.

Crisp white linen napery criss-crosses the table tops and the polished glasses and cutlery gleam with care and attention.

Over the winter months the flickering light of a log fire joins the candlelight to enhance the warmth and attentive hospitality at The Restaurant.

Leading off The Restaurant is the welcoming wine-tasting area. The bar dominates the centre of the room – striking in galvanised steel with black strapping. A touch of fun is evident with the tractor seat bar stools, while a fireplace and upholstered chairs soften the perimeter of the room, inviting guests savour every sip of the Estates award-winning wines.

    A delightful setting, lots of sculptures to admire. Set amongst beautiful gardens the indoor and outdoor settings for the restaurant are delightful. Food quality was excellent as was the wine I chose, though a little pricey. We started with two glasses of sparkling, shared the bisque, a most unusual gastronomic experience. My wife had the fish, I the venison and we shared a dessert. Highly recommended. Which restaurant was the better, Akaste or here, you should judge that!

    We came for lunch at The Oak to celebrate our wedding anniversary, having had our wedding at Grande Provence 10 years ago. The staff were brilliant and gave us a table in a prime position next to one of the fountains - it was beautiful. The food was absolutely delicious and the wine was obviously outstanding! We can’t wait to come back.

    A really mixed experience. Always a beautiful setting and the food was first class. However incredibly slow ( despite only being 3 tables in dining room) and in an establishment like this don’t expect plastic salt and pepper grinders plonked down with a jar of Tabasco for the oysters. Attention to detail is lacking at service

    Stunning restaurant with excellent attentive service. We went for the 3 course menu to include starters, intermediates & mains. All the food was beautifully presented with lots of flavours going on. My only disappointment was my main (blesbok) was rather tough & took a lot of chewing. I did mention it to the waitress who said she would mention it to the chef although I never got any feedback.
