Lots of oriental artefacts, candelabra, mirrors, leather sofas, a palette of neutral colours &, best of all, a sheltered, oriental-style patio garden – just the spot for fine weather alfresco – ensure that this modern annexe of Newdigate House is anything but bland. Contented diners tuck into the likes of grilled wild sea bass with pressed provençale vegetables, or locally shot wood pigeon Wellington with green bean, date & smoked bacon salad, followed by slow-roasted suckling pig with onion marmalade, rösti potato & cider & vanilla sauce, with warm chocolate & pistachio fondant with malted milk shake for pud.
