About us
Sustainability, passion, flair.
HEM sits in the centre of Warwick, in a building that has long been associated with craft — once gentleman's outfitters and later the treasured Tailor's restaurant. The name is a quiet reference to that history, and to the idea of something carefully finished.
Today, that same attention to detail runs through everything we do. This has been crucial to achievements such as being listed in the Michelin Guide within just 10 months of our opening,
Our story
HEM is run by long-time friends and colleagues Seb, who leads the front of house, and Dan Cavell in the kitchen. We have worked together for many years and bring experience from Michelin-recognised restaurants including Simpsons in Kenilworth, Hibiscus in Ludlow and Mallory Court.
Our approach is shaped by this background, but the aim is not to recreate those environments. Instead, HEM is designed to feel straightforward and comfortable, with an emphasis on consistency, attention to detail and a sense of ease for guests.
Dishes are developed with a focus on clarity and balance. There is no fixed style, only a way of working that allows the menu to change and settle naturally over time.
The space reflects the same thinking. It is simple and understated, allowing the experience to feel calm and unforced.
HEM was created to bring a considered style of dining to Warwick. A place built on experience and care, where people can return to enjoy good food without formality.
Meet the team
But it's not just us
We're also supported by a team of young, local talent who are building their own paths in food and hospitality. For us, supporting local goes beyond what's on the plate.
Sustainably conscious dining
At HEM we are committed to sustainability. We always try and source ethical and sustainable ingredients for our menus without compromising on quality and value. Where possible, we want to work with great local suppliers to ensure our dishes are seasonal and have known provenance. Our offering enables us to reduce food waste and deliver the quality and value that we aspire to achieve.
