Michelin Star Chef Stephen Terry is the proud owner of the Hardwick. At The Hardwick the choice is almost ridiculous for the size of the restaurant. This doesn’t make for an easy life but it works and customers enjoy visiting for old favourites and new dishes alike.
The Hardwick is perfect for a special occasion or to treat yourself. It is highly recommended and makes a special experience. They also have luxury hotel rooms for you to stay in.
