Very good! An interesting combination of well-sourced British ingredients. By just looking/tasting the food can I tell the ingredients are processed with efforts.
The concept of being sustainable is a great move yet not new for non-Michelin listed restaurant, aka, ordinary restaurants you can find anywhere. I assume that sustainability is just a huge hidden issue in the majority of Michelin restaurants.

My wife and I had the 10 course tasting menu and it was amazing. I have eaten in some high quality and Michelin stared restaurants over the years and the quality at Terroir is definitely as good if not better. Each course was an absolute delight and the sustainability and use of ingredients is second to none. Service was exceptional, you must eat here!

We had a wonderful meal at Terroir Tapas. We ordered the 10 course tasting menu with the drinks pairing. Each dish is an adventure in sustainable locally sourced culinary delight. Well worth a visit.

10 course taster menu Chefs table. Started beautifully first courses were good and one potato dish outstanding. The Chef here clearly has talent. We were getting very full by the seventh dish. I tried my best to make conversation with the Head chef but it was only one way and although he replied nicely I think he really was only there to describe dishes and prob wanted to watch the football. He plated beautifully but unfortunately the pork belly was tough with un rendered fat. We struggled with the savoury mushroom complex desserts but were full so this may be perfect for some. Great staff tho, life’s tuff out there at the moment, perhaps next time he may consider wishing his guests a good night before he departs it’s always good to spread good will and costs nothing. It was I have to say a quiet night with a England World Cup fixture keeping most people at home . My advice don’t go for the on a bar stool Chefs table taster menu sit at your own table served by very charming staff and make your own choices. Not many restaurants cook over open fire and care so much about sustainability and provenance so that’s special.

A wonderful cheese tasting menu, "The Twelve Cheeses of Christmas" paired with English red and white wines, a honey wine and a cider. Just the most amazing flavour profiles, continuing with each of the courses. As the restaurant has a green star, all the chutneys, and ketchups are prepared from things ordinary mortals bin. Even the fruit loaf had no dried fruit (raisins, citrus peel, currants) but dried and rehydrated veg trimmings but you wouldn't know. For vegetarians there were options available but as a carnivorous person I can't comment on how delicious they are, be assured that the flavours will be remarkable.

If you have an interest in cheese, book for one of these tasting menus.
Start with a cocktail, even the non alcoholic ones delight. Who said you need alcohol for excitement.

Totally unique and special dining experience.

These guys really care about their food. Every course was accompanied by a talk about the ingredients, how it had been sourced and what made it sustainable.

While that sort of experience might not be for everyone I left feeling like I'd done more than just had 'some interesting tapas'.

Service was great and the drinks menu included some really well thought out pairings.

It's pricey for the volume of food but hard to argue with the cost when you understand what has gone into it.

All the dishes were great but the thing that surprised us the most was the humble baby tomato dish. I've never had such flavoursome tomatoes before.

This is not what was expected.
If you are looking for a traditional tapas restaurant this is not it.
It's more of a tasting menu at a £100 pp.
They do have a very limited smaller 4 course for £45 pp.
Or a snack menu.
The food is nice but a little over priced probably.
They take bookings but if you just want a drink they do walk ins.

Incredible food. Very creative with how to minimise "waste" and make delicious food. Waitstaff and cooks are passionate about the restaurants mission of eco-awareness. Definitely recommend going here if you have the opportunity.
