Summary
“Really excellent cooking, with quality ingredients at a fair price” wins very enthusiastic reviews (if from a smallish fanclub) for the dining room at this handsome eighteenth century inn, which nowadays operates as a restaurant-with-rooms. There’s also a cheaper eating option – The Glasshouse, set in a glazed-in courtyard.
For 30 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
