This 15th century restaurant and lounge stands out for its distinctive approach to seasonal dining. The focus is on carefully curated tasting menus—available in three, five, and seven courses—that highlight the best of local British ingredients.

Each dish is thoughtfully crafted to reflect the season, using the finest produce available. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner from Wednesday to Saturday, offering only tasting menus, which are the heart of its culinary experience.

To the rear of the restaurant, there are five letting rooms, each with a private entrance and thoughtful touches such as Nespresso machines, bottled water, and handmade chocolates for guests.
