The jewel in the crown of Craft'd Grounds, the old timber mill-turned dining and drinking hub, Herve's is accessed via downstairs, where, to the rear, a set of stairs and a lift take you to the next floor.

The striking raked-ceiling space is divided into two, with a chic lounge bar featuring a terrazzo topped bar to one side of the stairs and elevator and the dining room, with its exposed iron beams, polished wooden floors and bespoke lighting to the other.

As well as a dining destination, Herve's is the perfect spot to drop in for an after work drink and delectable bar snack, with a concise menu of bespoke French-style cocktails and a staggering wine list including a vast selection from the best wine regions in France as well as a dedicated list for Corsican wines (a must-try!).

A walkway connects the bar and restaurant, hemmed by an open kitchen with a number of chef stations, featuring a seafood section, a wood-fired oven and a pastry counter.

Diners can take a seat at the European cafe style tables with Bentwood chairs, or along one of the banquettes which divide the room into sections. Bifold doors open onto tiny balconies and one area to the rear can be partitioned off for group gatherings.

With an emphasis on the first courses, Herve's pays homage to dessert with a daily made creation by the in-house baker/pastry chef (who also makes the heavenly in-house baguettes) and might include a traditional French tarte or similar.
