The Bar is another step back into the past with a copper topped bar and untouched surroundings, the extensive cocktail and drinks list can be enjoyed in the bar or lounge before dinner. Our restaurant team have been the proud bearers of three AA rosettes–the top ten percent in the country.

    Fabulous food in a splendid setting. From the moment you enter you know you're in the right place for a great experience. The staff were friendly and just attentive enough, not too much, just right! . We had the taster meal and started with canapes in the open fire warmed bar. Every dish was a delight. Highlights for us were the scallop and mackerel tartare and the red mullet but everything was superb. great combinations of tastes without being fussy or complex for the sake of it. The wine flight took us out of comfort zone of big Spanish and Italian reds or bone dry Italian whites. A smokey oak aged Californian pinot noir and a dense Saperavi stood out; all the choices complemented its dish perfectly.
