The Hardwick is a country pub which very much leans towards being a restaurant. This is largely due to the owner, Stephen Terry, being a cook by nature and not a publican. The philosophy is simple and honest. To source, cook and serve to the best of their abilities at all times. The produce is treated with the respect it deserves and served with the minimum of fuss and maximum of flavour. They use seasonal produce which allows customers and staff alike to look forward to certain ingredients throughout the year.
