Bay Tree Restaurant at The Felbridge Hotel and Spa

Handy for the M23 & Gatwick Airport, this contemporary hotel offers a choice of dining options, ranging from the fine-dining Anise (see entry) to the more informal Bay Tree, which is ideal for a quick casual lunch or dinner. Punchy flavours, well- judged combinations & char-grilling aplenty are to be found on the wide-ranging menu. Start with roast chicken & caper terrine with pickled shallots, then move on to British brasserie favourites such as lamb shank, sausage & mash or fish & chips. Even retro classics like free-range chicken Kiev & a modern pairing of scallops with chorizo hit the right note
