East Devon is having a moment. From fire-lit feasts in the woods to cliff-top seafood, kitchen-garden dining and Michelin starred brilliance, this stretch of Jurassic Coast is home to some of the South West’s most exciting food experiences. Discover seven standout venues redefining the region in The Knife's latest spotlight article.

At Gravetye Manor, Roux Scholar Martin Carabott transforms seasonal British produce into fine dining poetry. From garden beets with Oscietra caviar to deer cooked over juniper, his cooking celebrates balance, precision, and flavour born of time and place. The Knife sits down with the Gravetye chef redefining what it means to cook in season.

At Six Rooftop, Chef Greg Lambert is turning memories into menus. From seaside picnics to plant-based pasta perfection, Lambert’s dishes are as nostalgic as they are refined. In conversation with The Knife, Lambert talks storytelling, seasonality, and why his rooftop restaurant in Gateshead is more than just a pretty view – it's his culinary home.

From smoked cod doughnuts to vodka-infused whey, Dean Parker’s menu at Celentano’s in Glasgow is a masterclass in zero-waste, big-flavour cooking. As the restaurant celebrates its fourth birthday, we speak to the chef-patron about fermentation, foraging, Italian roots, and why breakfast might just be his favourite dish of all.

No menu, no imports, no ego – just a chef, a regenerative farm, and a deep obsession with how a county truly tastes. At Wild Shropshire, James Sherwin is pioneering “ultra-terroir” dining with local eggs, garlic from down the lane, and vinegars that rival citrus. The Knife sat down with the Michelin Green star chef to talk ferments, flavour memory, and why pineapple weed might just be the new mango.

At Seasonality in Maidenhead, Chef Patron Wesley Smalley is proving that refined cooking doesn't need theatrics – just great ingredients, a biodynamic farm, and a clear sense of purpose. From parsnip ice cream to a 15-year-old fondant that never leaves the menu, this is a quietly confident take on modern British dining.
