Kokedama

If you like high quality, plant based small plates with ingredients locales sourced, look no further than @kokedama.restaurant This is a meal you won’t forget in a hurry!

Kokedama, part of the @theroundhillpub brand, opened for the first time since the easing of lockdown and also launching their new seasonal menu and I was invited down to check it out!

We tried everything on the menu over the 3-hours intimate evening with each plate looking fantastic and the attention to detail outstanding! Some highlight dishes for me were: Carrots -Tikka Butter. Labneh. Dukkah Potato Dumplings - Mushroom Xo. Shallots. Caramelised Sauerkraut Mushroom & Peppercorn Arancini -Confit Garlic. Koji Parmesan. Black Truffle Miso -Blackberries. Rose. Milk Crisps

The plates came out one at a time which we thought was a little slow and discussed with the guys at the end about bringing a few plates at a time which they said they usually do but just getting used to being back in service which was completely understandable

The location of the venue is in the heart of Lewes in the very pretty @needlemakersroundhill which houses some lovely little small businesses in the day. I love the rustic look and the unique dining experience is such a lovely change to your usual restaurant visit

There is a car park right outside or it is a short train journey away from Brighton so you can enjoy a few drinks which I would highly recommend with some stunning cocktails and natural wines on offer too!

Really enjoyed this visit and was blown away by the quality and care taken in every dish we tried! Definitely worth a visit, Lewes is such a lovely little town and this restaurant is the perfect addition!

If you check out their page as well, they have a little competition going on to win a meal for two there so make sure you check it out!

I was invited to try this one. As always, all opinions are my own.
