Write a reviewWe were given a voucher for Black Estates as a birthday present from our UK family and chose a Trust the Chef lunch. We had no preconception of what the restaurant would be like and found our experience to be superb in every respect. A beautiful location with a table nexto the panoramic window on a fabulous sunny day. The service was helpful and friendly, not rushed but not slow and the meal was sublime. A beautifully balanced set of dishes, presented, cooked and served to perfection. We hope to come back next year with our whole family when they visit New Zealand.......... Thankyou! our birthday treat was one to remember

A delicious Trust the Chef experience for our wedding anniversary. The food and wine matches were well done and hubby had their matched mocktails instead which were so much fun. Forget your sweet and sickly mocktails - these were savoury and properly paired with the food. All dishes were delicious with the standouts being the perfectly cooked crispy skin salmon with cauliflower purée and hazelnut browned butter, the carrots with lemon “custard”, and the chocolate mousse with poached strawberries and buttermilk ice cream. We had a lovely time. Thanks team!

Wow .. such a beautiful experience from the lovely communication via email when booking, right to the goodbye at the cellar door. Black Estate is simply stunning! The outlook is so special, the decor is perfect, the cutlery & plate ware second to none! (Details I really love!) Fire was roaring as it was a cooler stormy day. Attention to detail is amazing! All the team, owner, waitstaff and chef are incredible. My husband and I could not fault any aspect of our whole experience, thank you Black Estate for making the beginning of our (rare) weekend away so very special. If I could give you 6 stars I would xx
