The mackerel was divine, and although the couscous lacked in flavour, it was a very tasty dish overall. The Man had beetroot cured salmon with a dill crème fraîche. My word, they certainly took more effort for the à la carte.

A friend recommended this place. I'm so happy to find it. Very small room with good few tables in. Simple and clean. The food. Outstanding. Simple and one of the best I have tasted for long time. You can taste the freshness and the talent of their chef. The wild garlic gnocchi is sensational. They have a pretty good wine and digestive list. I highly recommend this place!

The staff like Rachel in the front of house are so friendly and helpful, and Chefs Richard and Byron are always experimenting with great new creations. <br/ <br/ I first went to Field over a year ago for a friend 's birthday. I had a beautiful, rich dish of pork belly with black pudding gnocchi which was divine. For dessert, we discovered the 'jaffaron ' a delicious and creative Jaffa cake Macaron. <br/ <br/ I went with friends to Field this week for their set Christmas dinner menu. The choices for starters included oxtail ravioli, duck liver pâté, tomato and Aubergine soup, and mackerel. I wasn 't overly keen on any of them honestly. For the main I was really eager to try the chicken with chestnuts which was excellent. For dessert I had the pistachio layer cake with homemade cherry ice cream. Everything was absolutely beautifully presented but not as flavorful with pistachio as I would have hoped. <br/ <br/ I always have a lovely time at Field, and it is a beautiful place with high quality, excellently presented food.

Although, if you can wait, simply jaunt across the street to the Peartree for a pint, and they'll give you a jingle when a table is up. It's philosophy is farm to table, with local Scottish ingredients, with the result of good food. The menu isn't vast, unsurprisingly, but each item seemed appealing. It's a very romantic spot, and a nice change from a Haggis burger!

We had a delicious meal, for a very reasonable price. The atmosphere within the restaurant is welcoming whilst unobtrusive, and the staff are similarly charming and professional. A main focus of Field seems to be local, sustainable ingredients, and my coley dish was great. On the waiters recommendation, I had the treacle tart for dessert which was really great, comforting and delicious. My friends similarly enjoyed their meal, (chicken with Parma ham) and thought if perfect for the fringe or celebration, as well as an indulgent mid week treat. One final thing, we shared a great bottle of white wine recommended to us as the lunch time bottle was not available for dinner, which just happened to be the cheapest?! I think it was this point we fell in love with Field
