The Sherwood is so much more than a restaurant, often having bands play and offering yoga, jewellery making classes etc - google them - AND the food at the Sherwood is fabulous, definitely worth the trip.
Whether it is breakfast lunch or dinner the Sherwood crew will impress with their innovative and delicious menu, much of which is sourced from their own garden. You will need to book for popular dinner times, although you can often persuade them to let you sit at the bar if you're a couple/small group sshh don't say we told you that!
