Bouchon Bistro: More Than Just A CorkIt has been said that chefs Greg Wanless Nico Duhil produce the type of French cuisine you would usually expect to find only in France. Authentic, classical and above all mouth-watering. You should be forgiven then for expressing surprise, when you come across their culinary skills in rural Northumberland. But discover them you may, at the Bouchon Bistro located in the English market town of Hexham. The menu is simple and rustic, the ambiance full of character and the service knowledgeable. More farmhouse than Michelin, Bouchon recently gained an enviable boost, being one of only two French restaurants to be competing in Gordon Ramsays continuing search for ‘Britain’s Best Local Restaurant’. They won their first round defeating The French Table, Surry and are currently third on the leader board. So they could well make it through the semi-finals depending on how the remaining restaurants score in their rounds.
