About Arshan
Our Story
A neighbourhood restaurant with a fine-dining heart – cooking with the seasons in Westbridge since 2015.

Welcome to ArshanHonest Food,
Honest Food,
Served Beautifully
Arshan opened in 2015 as a twelve-table dining room with one wood-fired oven and a menu written by hand each afternoon. The idea was simple: cook what is in season, cook it well and make every guest feel at home.
Today the room seats 80, the Garden Terrace another 40 and the Cellar Room hosts private dinners – but the oven is still lit every night, and the menu still changes with the market.

Our Philosophy
What We Believe In
Four promises that guide every menu, every service and every guest we welcome.
Seasonal Sourcing
We buy from growers and fishermen we know, and let the season write the menu.
Cooked From Scratch
Stocks, breads, pasta and desserts – everything is made in our own kitchen.
Genuine Hospitality
Warm, attentive and never stuffy. We want you to feel like a regular on your first visit.
A Responsible Kitchen
Nose-to-tail cooking, compost and a menu designed to waste as little as possible.

“Easily the most relaxed fine dining I've had. Nothing is fussy, everything is precise. The prawn fusilli is worth the trip on its own.”
