Nothing says ‘I love you’ more than a leisurely Sunday roast dinner. You can dine in the cosy pub downstairs or enjoy your Sunday lunch in the more formal surroundings of the dining room upstairs.
Their meat is locally and sustainably sourced in Britain and is butchered on-site which means they can offer interesting cuts (subject to change weekly).
Guests who book after 7 pm on Mother’s Day will also receive a glass of Taittinger as a gift for Mum.
A little bird tells us they have a Magnum of Taittinger up for grabs too. Guests just need to pre-book for Sunday 22nd and quote ‘Taittinger’ when making their booking for a chance to win!
