Osip
Somerset
Good Food Guide Restaurant of the Year 2025
Conde Nast Best Restaurants in the World Hotlist 2025
Michelin Guide One Star Award 2024
At the heart of Osip restaurant is the principle of ‘farm-to-table’ dininng, harnessing and celebrating the local produce of the region.
In response we developed a design that enhances this experience. While the original pub was viewless and inward looking, the new restaurant faces outwards, with new openings and windows that bring light into the building and create long views over the countryside.
The kitchen is located at the centre of this experience, encouraging diners to oversee the cooking process, sometimes invited to take part in tasting sessions at the chef’s table.
The emphasis on the local is further embodied in our use of locally sourced materials, working collaboratively with local designers and craftsmen. This includes sourcing timber from the neighbouring wood, using leathers and fabrics produced close to Bruton, and creating floor finishes made out of local earth, compacted into a breathable and acoustically absorbent earthenware floor.
Upstairs we created four bespoke boutique hotel rooms, each unique from the other, responding to the features and idiosyncrasies of the historic building. The gardens that surround the building include tasting stations and areas for food production, and are integrated with the restaurant.
Opening in the Summer of 2024, Osip regained its Michelin star, was awarded Good Food Guide's restaurant of the year 2025, and was named in Conde Nast’s best new restaurants in the World 2025.
