The Dining Room

A friendly, informal ambience prevails in this comfortable restaurant, where chef Tony Tobin takes a characteristically simplistic approach to modern British cuisine. Prime ingredients are creatively assembled but are often left to speak for themselves, accompanied by flavoursome reductions & infusions rather than creamy sauces. Two good examples are pan-roasted smoked salmon served alongside pea shoots, salad & fresh horseradish dressing, & skewered chicken & chorizo with Israeli couscous & sweet & sour mango chutney. The wine list carries a thoughtful range of global wines & an impressive by-the-glass selection.
