The menu also trumpets produce from the owners' Oxfordshire farm (slow-roasted Old Spot pork belly with gai lan, for example), although wallet-busting Australian abalone in ‘royal supreme stock' makes no such local claims. After all that razzamatazz, desserts play it straight with cheesecakes, sorbets and trifles.
