Husband-and-wife team Marcus and Kate founded Restaurant 5 North Street in the chocolate box Cotswolds town of Winchcombe.
Inspired by such classic restaurants as Shaun Hill’s former Merchant House, he created an informal dining room,
devoid of pretence and fuss.

robust and underpinned by starry cooking while dreamy desserts live long in the memory.
