My daughter took me there for my birthday last week. She had been raving about Cassons for so long that I insisted on going, and am very pleased I did. It was a real pleasure to find somewhere that really cares about what they do. From the very warm welcome we arrived, to the luscious canapes we started with and the fabulous meal that followed, everything was just about perfect.

Each course was a visual delight, and the taste exceeded the expectation. I was particularly bowled over by the pudding – a Raspberry and Cream Ice Cream wrapped in a Raspberry Sorbet, standing tall in a cylinder, with Elderflower Sorbet (from their Garden the Chef told me) and the finest shard of Chocolate Glass.

Would highly recommend Cassons to anyone who enjoys really fine food in warm, relaxed surroundings.
