Stuart and Frances opened Docket Restaurant in August 2017. With a goal to create a space where people can enjoy great food and service in a relaxed environment, Shropshire was the perfect location due to being surrounded by local growers, producers and distillers.
Docket is recognised by the Michelin Guide and has been awarded a Plate each year since the 2020 Guide and has since been highlighted by the Good Food Guide.
In 2021 Stuart represented Central Region on the BBC’s Great British Menu, reaching the final and showcasing the amazing local ingredients North Shropshire has to offer.
