Lovely Sunday lunch - beautiful roast beef. This is a delightful country house hotel. Very stylish, rather private and discreet. Beautiful gardens. Very charming. We come here for Sunday lunch four or five times a year and are never disappointed. I had a delicious tomato and watermelon based first course, followed by roast rib of beef and Yorkshire pudding. Desserts are not my thing so I finished with cheese and biscuits. A lovely meal at a good set menu price. My husband went a la carte with tempura fried oysters to start and belly pork main, followed by some delicious icecream. I stole an oyster - wonderful!! It really is very, very nice. For me, it would boost to excellent with some minor improvements. I prefer linen on the table to Formica tops; we had to ask for pepper, salt and horseradish; the cheeseboard was rather heavy on cheese, (no blue), huge but tasteless grapes and Christmas flavoured chutney rather than a more spring like quince jelly or dried apricots. Very good and good value in a beautiful setting. See you again! HH
