Artichoke---May2023--PWF---0006-HDR---Copy

"Exemplary… I advise visiting before you can't get a table at all. If necessary, move into the neighbourhood."

The Independent

"The Artichoke is a smart outfit, the kind of restaurant you'd hope any fair-sized British town with a modicum of taste could support but, sadly, doesn't."

Jay Rayner, The Observer

"The Artichoke set out to be a good-quality neighbourhood restaurant and it has never strayed from that path. From the amuse-bouches to delicate petits-fours, every mouthful is a joy."

Fay Maschler, Evening Standard

"A genuinely warm welcome combined with professional service."

Harden’s Best UK Restaurants Guide 2017

"Expect waves of amazement - texture, colour, impact, surprise - Laurie Gear's cooking is gaining depth as well as clarity - seasonality is king and the menu is tweaked as the months roll by."

The Good Food Guide 2013

"It looked ravishing and tasted just as good. Far be it from me to suggest that's the most fun you can have in Amersham with your clothes on."

John Lanchester, The Guardian
