Plymouth, British, Modern Restaurant Guide

You eat on a raised gallery that overlooks the great hall of this five star property, which occupies a fine old 16th-century manor in countryside just beyond Plymouth’s city limits. All feedback this year acclaims an “absolutely stunning food experience” from the four-course menu prepared by chef Scott Paton, alongside “wonderful service”. (Another fan is The Telegraph’s William Sitwell, who in his November 2023 review found service that was “fabulous, attentive, professional” and a chef displaying “confident work” alongside “subtle decorative skills”).
