This chic country pub restaurant was recently taken over by Tom Downing, formerly of The Crazy Bear at Stadhampton. Since Tom's arrival in February 2024, the Five Alls has undergone a refurbishment of its nine rooms and public spaces. Tom has also appointed highly experienced general manager, Robert Wilks, and talented head chef, Lucian Juganaru - together they're working on re-establishing the Five Alls reputation for excellent dining and warm hospitality with the support of their well-trained and friendly team.
