Black Cat Truffles by Liam Downes

Owners are very gracious hosts. A tad too crowded to be fully enjoyed. Maybe partially the owners' fault. Some guests don't know how to spread out so others can see what's happening. Instead, they will crowd over and hover over the dog and the owner, and I were better off meandering elsewhere. You're basically paying for the food. Food is great. But after the 2nd, or 3rd truffle infused set, not much. Overall, still a great experience.

We had a fabulous experience & would highly recommend it. So interesting to learn about truffles & hunting. The food & hospitality was of a really high standard and the truffle inspired dishes were delicious! Kristen & Tom were very friendly & accommodating hosts. My GF food request was no problem.

It doesn’t surprise me to see so many 5 star reviews. My wife and I went today with her folks for the truffle hunt experience and afternoon grazing platter, and to say that we had a fabulous experience and enjoyed a sensational culinary indulgence would be an understatement. The hosts and all the staff were super attentive and couldn’t do enough to please. This review is given against the background of my wife being a coeliac and needing a strict GF diet, which was no problem. We are already talking about a return visit. Without any hesitation, this is very strongly recommended.

The best experience for those who love truffle!!! My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed the hunt, and then the beautiful lunch that we shared afterwards. Lovely, experienced and knowledgable owners who go out of their way to ensure you have a great day. Walked out with some delicious truffle aioli and a small amount of truffle for a very fair price. Couldn’t have asked for anything more from a Saturday afternoon!

We had an amazing day at Black Cat Truffles! Kristen & Tom couldn't have been more welcoming. The truffle hunt was great fun with Lottie and Tom. Tom was a wealth of knowledge and was only too happy to answer our questions.Lunch was amazing - such great food and bubbles. Can't recommend this experience highly enough. We'll definitely be booking in again next truffle season.

I was gifted a summer truffle hunt experience and I am ready to start gifting these to everyone myself.The day was an amazing experience and we managed to dig up a massive 446g summer truffle, much to everyone's delight. Then the food afterwards was a whole amazing experience itself. Tom and Kristen were amazing hosts and made sure everyone felt included and took us on a whole truffle growing, hunting and eating journey.The stars of the day Lottie and Winston made sure we felt welcome as soon as we arrived before their truffle hunting job began.10/10 we would love to come back and do the winter truffle hunt so we may be back once it cools down!

My husband and I did their winter truffle hunt and we throughly enjoyed the experience of finding the truffles, well their dog Lottie did the finding part, we had a great time digging them out lol and learning about truffles and their growing conditions. Tom was very kind enough to answer all of our questions and have a chat with us about how he came to be a truffle farmer. And of course I cannot forget the 5 course truffle degustation that we had afterwards, it was a merticlous thought out menu and absolutely delicious. Thank you so much Kirsten & Tom for sharing your property and experiences growing truffles with us, you are both such lovely people and we had such a lovely day.

Wonderful experience and tasty truffles to try. If you are interested in what makes truffles so prized I definitely recommend the Truffle Hunting ($150pp) experience conducted by Tom. We had Lottie the truffle dog for our group and she found a big 259g truffle right off the bat. Our haul was very good I reckon for end of the season.Tasting menu was superb and we had to have the pizza with shaved truffles on it. We even brought our dog Bowie the Corgi to have a little play with Winston, Lottie and the others. Our hosts made the overall experience very enjoyable.Highly recommended!
