The story
Once the magnificent ballroom of the original house, the dining room preserves its historic scale while adapting to modern service standards. Guests select from elegant interior tables or a shaded outdoor terrace covered by a canopy, both offering views of the hotel's landscaped grounds. This architectural backdrop supports a menu recognized by 2 AA Rosettes, where the quality of execution matches the grandeur of the room.
The kitchen applies a creative fusion of traditional and modern English cooking, building each dish around the best available seasonal ingredients. A starter like Heritage Tomato Goats Curd highlights the attention given to vegetable preparation, while mains such as the Rack of Lamb demonstrate a steady hand with classic proteins. The menu shifts with the calendar, keeping selections like Asparagus Duck Egg Parmesan aligned with regional harvests.
The restaurant maintains an extensive wine list, with waiting staff guiding guests toward bottles that complement the day's choices. Dessert plates offer distinct profiles, including the Champagne Panna Cotta where real bubbles create a light texture, and the Salted Caramel Chocolate Cheesecake for deeper flavors. A Lemon Tart served with Raspberry Sorbet provides a sharp contrast, balancing the richness of earlier courses.
