Openings: The Woodspeen, Newbury

The Woodspeen is set in scenic west Berkshire countryside and marks chef John Campbell's return to the restaurant world after a three-year interval.

The former two-Michelin-starred chef acquired the former Five Bells pub in December 2013 and renovated it to create a light and airy restaurant with a Scandinavian feel. He serves seasonal food, sourced locally, and also uses produce grown by his team in the restaurant's half-acre kitchen gardens.

A cookery school is expected to open on 1 December and will include 10 workstations and a chef's table for up to 10 guests. The restaurant is a collaboration between BaxterStorey parent company WSH and JC Restaurants.
