A NEW restaurant, wine bar and wine shop is set to open in Oxford this May.

Diners can enjoy seasonal food and 'exciting' wines at Wilding which will open its doors in Little Clarendon Street in Jericho.

The restaurant's name comes from the practice of returning overworked land to nature and it aims to make as little impact on the environment as possible.

Wilding comes from founder Kent Barker, who has worked in the industry for more than 30 years.

He wants to create a venue where wine and food is matched and served in a 'creative, unpretentious and engaging' way with customers encouraged to be bold and adventurous with their ordering.

The restaurant's chef Dominique Goltinger is working with a local Somerset forager to bring seasonally-changing and biodiverse ingredients to the menu.

Guests will also be able to buy from over 400 bottles of wine. The restaurant opens to the public on May 26.
