About Row on 5

Row on 5 earned its second star for 2026 on the strength of restraint: a kitchen that trusts a single Orkney scallop or a shoulder of Herdwick mutton to carry a course without scaffolding. The room seats fewer than forty, service moves at a pace set by the food rather than the clock, and the wine list leans hard into English producers without turning the meal into a lecture. This is British cooking with the fat rendered properly and the sauces reduced past the point of laziness — nothing plated here reads as comfort food, even when the ingredients are ones your grandmother would recognise.

Menu highlights

  • Orkney scallop, brown butter, sea herbs £48 Cooked on the shell side only, finished tableside with a spoon of burnt-butter emulsion
  • Herdwick mutton, salt-baked celeriac, bone marrow jus £68 Aged twelve days, the jus reduced from a three-day mutton stock
  • Eight-course tasting menu £185 Wine pairing available for an additional £110
