About
Henne is a 14-cover restaurant on the High Street in Moreton-in-Marsh, in an old Grade II listed building. Darren Brown cooks alone in the kitchen and Nick Fenton runs the room. They have worked together since 2016. The name, the restaurant says, is short for Mersh henne, which it gives as the town's original name, and the idea is to source as close to Moreton as they can.
There is one menu: six courses for £90 a head in 2026, with an optional wine pairing at £75 and British cheeses as a £15 supplement. The sample menu for October 2026 ran from an Orkney scallop with celeriac and a line-caught plaice with fish soup to Paddock Farm pork with burnt apple, and finished with Brailes honey and yoghurt. A discretionary 12.5% service charge is added. There is no bar, so come for dinner rather than a drink.
It opens from Wednesday to Saturday, with tables from 6pm to 8pm, and the menu takes at least two hours. Bookings are online only, up to 90 days ahead, for up to four people, with a deposit of £25 a head that is refunded if you cancel more than 24 hours ahead. Groups of five or more email or call, and their deposit is refunded only if they cancel more than a week ahead. Children over the age of 10 are welcome if they eat the tasting menu, and only assistance dogs are allowed. Because one chef cooks everything, the kitchen cannot cater for every allergy. Vegetarian and gluten-free menus need 48 hours' notice. The building is listed, so ask about access before you book.
