It is with a heavy heart that I must announce the closure of Damson, with immediate effect. This affects all bookings from 12th September 2025.

Whilst this may come as a shock, it’s after much consideration and extensive efforts to explore alternative options, regrettably the decision has been made that we are unable to continue forward, driven by several financial and external factors.

I want to express, on behalf of the entire Damson team, our deepest thanks for your incredible support and loyalty over the past two years. You have been the heart of our restaurant; it has been a great privilege to serve you all.

I feel deeply privileged to have worked alongside such a gifted and dedicated team, past and present, who helped bring Damson to life every single day, I will forever be grateful for their support in what we were able to create together.

Opening Damson has been a dream come true. A time that’s demanded much, but left a lasting pride in what we achieved. Though this chapter is closing, I am extremely grateful for the opportunity and for every person that has been part of it.

For those who hold or have purchased gift vouchers, I will be consulting with legal and financial advisors to determine the fairest outcome for those affected. Further information will be provided to you as soon as possible and I can only express my deepest apologies for any distress caused.

I will make every effort to speak with all those affected personally, though it may not be feasible given the immediacy of the situation, I appreciate your understanding during this challenging time, thank you all once again.

Later this month team Damson will be taking a little late-summer break! 😎
 
The restaurant will be closed from Monday 25th August – Thursday 11th September, so our last service of the summer will be Sunday 24th and we’ll be back open from Friday 12th September, when we’ll be ready to welcome you with new seasonal menus (already in development) and plenty of early-autumn flavours ☀️

August is one of our favourite months for produce – the kitchen garden is still full of fresh home-grown ingredients and our suppliers local farms have some of their best produce on offer. Just see for yourself…

🍑 Stone fruits – apricots, plums, cherries – ideal for baking, desserts or alongside meat and game dishes
🍅 Tomatoes – perfect for slow-roasting, pairing with creamy cheeses
🥬 Tender greens – courgettes, beans, lettuce, chard – adding freshness and flavour
🐙 Fresh fish – shellfish is real a summer favourite but just check out that octopus
🍓Summer berries – strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries - some of our current dessert heroes
🍄‍🟫 Wild mushrooms – not just for the autumn, chanterelles and other wild varieties are a late summer seasonal favourite.

A little something we ‘threw’ together earlier this week… (did you ‘catch’ our last reel?) 😉
 
Courgette, ‘feta’, lettuce.  The stars of this beautiful dish from our tasting menu ✨
 
These stunning summer courgettes from our garden really shine alongside the salty creaminess of the Fe**sh cheese, a delicious English take on the better-known Greek version.  These two hero ingredients are complemented perfectly by the supporting flavours of pickled shallots, leaves from the garden and a light fragrant dressing 🙌

A beautiful roasted duck dish from our current tasting menu 🦆

The duck breast is glazed with honey from the Damson bees, and is served with chard from the garden, alongside caramelised beetroot, and a velvety-smooth, spiced beetroot purée 🫜

The dish is finished with duck sauce and a wild garlic oil, it’s seasonal, bold, and beautifully balanced 💚

As always, our menus continue to evolve over the summer season. There’s more fresh veg in the garden than ever and we’re loving finding new ways to incorporate this fantastic home-grown produce into our dishes 🧑🏻‍🌾

We also continue to be inspired by stunning ingredients from our wonderful suppliers, who provide us with our meat, fish, game, cheese, fruit and veg, all from the UK 🇬🇧

These menus are examples only, as with so many fantastic ingredients available at this time of year no one week is ever the same here in the Damson kitchen 🙌
