The dining experience here is built around Modern British cooking that draws directly from the land and the surrounding region. The team works with the finest local produce, letting the ingredients speak for themselves in dishes that are refined yet grounded.
The restaurant's approach is one of quiet confidence. The dining rooms, set within a manor that dates back to the 13th century, offer a sense of occasion without formality. Stone walls, open fireplaces, and views over the manicured grounds create an atmosphere that feels both grand and welcoming. It is a setting that complements the food rather than competing with it.

For those who wish to deepen the experience, the wine pairing is carefully selected to enhance each dish.
