Foodess' review of The Glasshouse

This place could be re-named Classhouse and I’d award them straight A’s in all departments. Oh Boyd can Anthony cook! Corny….. but fortunately they are not. Over 7 years ago we discovered this restaurant before first Michelin star attainment and it’s top in the trio for me. To be fair to Chez Bruce I have only eaten there once and if it were geographically more accessible then my opinion may differ.

Even with a plethora of good eateries surrounding me in the Thames Valley I still yearn to venture to the edge of the metropolis just to go here. We’ve had a couple of tortuous journeys, have arrived late, early and not at all; but undeterred, one evening last week we made it on time to be greeted warmly and to experience yet another display of passion in all they do.

If you’re passionate about food’n wine, enjoy unwinding in a quietly bustling atmosphere in low-key contemporary surroundings, and like to be served vitally good modern fare by a friendly and generally pro’ team, then do pop along. This place has consistently ‘done it’ for us. Enthusiastic sommelier happily recommends to your spec. most often with joyously glugging results and refreshingly without any pretence.
