Six acres of grounds shroud this smart country house hotel from the outside world – Heathrow is just 15 minutes away. Among its hidden secrets is Berry’s Restaurant, a dream come true for couples & corporate types alike, with elegant surrounds that open onto the terrace for summer alfresco dining. Modern British cooking with a cosmopolitan touch is epitomised in dishes such as white crab meat & quail’s egg jelly with a brown crab meat cake on fennel salad, whole poussin stuffed with roasted red pepper & mozzarella with herb polenta cake & pesto dressing, & hot chocolate fondant served with banana ice-cream. The restaurant is open for lunch & dinner seven days a week, offering set menus as well as a seven-course gastronomic menu.
