The team behind a Michelin-starred London restaurant have transformed a cattle shed into a produce-driven dining destination.

Nest Farmhouse has launched at Docking Lodge Farm in west Norfolk, which is located on a sprawling thousand-acre working estate.

Executive chef Johnnie Crowe and business partners Luke Wasserman and Toby Neill also run Nest and Restaurant St Barts in London.

The latter holds a coveted Michelin Star for culinary excellence and, new for 2024, a Michelin Green Star for its focus on sustainability.

The head chef of Nest Farmhouse is Grant Cotton, 34, who has worked at the trio's restaurants in the capital.

He is returning to his Norfolk roots as he was born in King's Lynn and has family here. 

Mr Cotton said: "I wanted to get out of London and the boys were keen to continue working with me - Johnnie and Luke also have family in Norfolk.

Asked if he is aiming for a Michelin Star, Mr Cotton added: "We want to establish ourselves first before thinking about that, perhaps in the future."
