The full car park of this village inn says it all. It's gained a strong following thanks to being gastronomically adventurous and having a passionate team who make a real effort to welcome their guests; the custom menu with your name on is a particularly nice touch. The kitchen shows great ambition within the pub surroundings, with tasting menus available alongside the à la carte. Desserts are a particular highlight, including the immaculately risen soufflés that are a must-order if you get the chance. Well-appointed bedrooms complete the appealing overall package.

Old Vicarage

Modern Cuisine

£££

With a history dating back to 1846, this delightful stone-built former vicarage is situated in a semi-rural spot on the edge of the city. Two fixed-price menus – go for the 'Prestige' option if you want the full experience – offer ambitious, well-constructed dishes delivering assured flavours from high-quality ingredients. Roe deer from the Balmoral estate is a great example, providing a wonderful gamey flavour and cooked to a perfect tenderness. The grand-looking house is surrounded by mature grounds that are worth exploring.

Tom Lawson at the Psalter

Modern British

For his latest venture, experienced chef Tom Lawson has taken over the titular boutique hotel, and within it sits this welcoming restaurant. Bright, funky wallpaper adds a splash of colour to the room, while a large bureau is filled with Lawson’s own favourite cookery books. His set seasonal menu changes regularly but will likely include his version of cauliflower cheese that nods to his ‘Grandma B’. Elsewhere, look out for high-quality produce such as snow-white Cornish plaice with a terrific beurre blanc. Service comes from a friendly and confident team.
