Legendary French chef Raymond Blanc presides over this iconic restaurant in a quintessentially English country house. You cannot help but fall in love with the place: the setting is divine and a feeling of luxury envelops you. Enjoy a fine array of canapés in a sumptuous lounge then head through to the magical beamed restaurant comprising several interconnecting rooms; in summer, be sure to sit in the conservatory for views over the manicured gardens. Top quality seasonal ingredients and beautifully fresh produce from the kitchen garden underpin the skilfully executed cooking – which has a classical French base and a light, modern touch – and the main menu is fittingly entitled ‘Spécialités du Moment’. Flavours are intense, combinations are sophisticated and the presentation shows an eye for detail. Desserts are always a highlight and service is polished.
