Just wow. A culinary feast with a very talented and humble chef. It was remarkable how much Hugh did by himself, the food just kept on coming and was some of the best food I had ever tasted. Rib of beef, the most incredible artichoke...and truffle tart, massive chunks of cheese, it was such a lovely surprise to not know what was going to be put down on the table. You share dishes with others on the table, it was lovely to talk to everyone. Just hope that you’re in the same night as people who really appreciate the concept and the talent on show, because it’s such an amazing shared experience. We will be back with family and friends, totally worth the 2 hour drive.More

More of a banquet than a meal. Hugh is a fantastic chef who provided a vast range of food (delicious meat, vegetarian, pescatarian, and gluten-free dishes). The mushroom bread and butter pudding with mushroom sauce, and the harissa stood out for me. The icing on...the cake was the take away boxes at the end. [Remind me to skip the marshmallows next time!]More

The venue, the food and the service Hugh provides is stonking, I belong to an informal group of kayakers and we have been booking The Off Grid Gourmet every year for 5 years , it is that good! You may be paying for a 4...course meal but you get about 15 choices within that and all are top notch nosh!More

Fantastic service and so much choice.Hay on wye is a fantastic little town so much to see and do a bookworms heaven

What a night. From the minute we arrived until the minute we left we absolutely loved the experience. The food was delicious, packed with rustic flavours and great ambience. We sat at a table with people we could chat away with whilst enjoying each others...company too. This isn’t just a meal it’s an experience. Thank you Hugh for a brilliant nightMore

First visit to this interesting restaurant. Hugh is a great cook and host, he single handedly served a delicious array of imaginative courses while managing to chat to this guests. The rustic barn/shed had great atmosphere and my group of four were lucky to be...joined by other guests who shared our love of food which made conversation flow as everyone sits at one large table. Very good value for money and even better it's BYO.More

Brilliant concept. Hugh is a very interesting guy as well as being an excellent chef. Cannot recommend enough….

Hugh cooked for me, my wife and her parents last week, as always, a superb meal spaced over a civilised interval - no succumbing to the fast food dogma here! It's still a rare treat to be able to chat to the chef while he...cooks and serves and Hugh is invariably excellent company. We'll be visiting again as soon as we can.More

We visited this restaurant after seeing all the amazing reviews on Trip Advisor. I totally agree that Hugh is very welcoming and does an amazing job at singlehandedly cooking, serving and washing up, but we both found the food distinctly underwhelming. I didn't feel that...the dishes complimented each other at all; the starters consisted of rice, beetroot, pickled carrot, cold duck breast together with a hot chicken dish. It just seemed totally random. I think maybe that the whole experience is better in the summer, when you can take in the views and appreciate the 'off grid vibe' a bit more. But personally, I wouldn't recommend it on a dark wet November night.More

This is one of the best meals I have ever eaten. Hugh manages to cook, wash up and serve a multi course gastronomic feast without batting an eyelid. Course after course came out and every single one was fantastic. Everything about this evening was great...and I cannot recommend highly enough. Go hungry as the quantity of food is impressive. We kept telling ourselves we couldn’t eat another thing but managed to keep going. Takeaway boxes for any left over food - what’s not to love. This is a genuine foodie gemMore

We took friends for what turned out to be a wonderful evening. The food was amazing - beautifully chosen and cooked and plenty of it! As well as a great chef Hugh is a perfect host. The best eating out experience we’ve had in a...long time. Well worth a visit.More

Searched online for something different. And boy did we find it!! We arrived early, and was welcomed in with a cheery smile and a warm greeting. The food was delivered in waves. Stunning plate after stunning plate. Huge chunks of slow cooked pork, to home...made rosemary bread, to roast beef sirloin. And plenty inbetween. All cooked to perfection, and masses of it. Our 13 year old can eat for all of us, and Hugh accepted the challenge. The rum sticky toffee pudding was divine, and my son was presented with 2!! He could only manage 1 - 1/2. 1-0 to Hugh! He did however, recover his appetite in time for the toasted marshmallows. A wonderful experience, with wonderful food, and a perfect host/chef. Made even more remarkable as the usual help was not available so the entire night was covered by one, remarkable man. Touché. And thank you. Would highly recommend.More
