The Neptune

★ Michelin£££Modern Cuisine

Kevin Mangeolles is a classically trained chef who works alone in his kitchen and really understands traditional flavour combinations. He’s not trying to reinvent the wheel with his cooking, nor is he trying to challenge your tastebuds or make everything Instagram-pretty; he's simply concerned with what’s in season and what’s available in the local area, which results in dishes that are bursting with flavour and extremely well balanced. Kevin's wife Jacki runs this 18C coaching inn with a calm confidence. There are bedrooms available for those wishing to make a night of it.

The Old Bank

£££Modern British

A welcoming couple run this intimate, laid-back restaurant: Aga works out front, assisted by a friendly serving team, while Lewis heads up the kitchen. As the name suggests, it's a former bank and the old banking counter now acts as the bar. The well-balanced tasting menu comes in two forms – ‘Shorter’ and ‘Longer’ – and has a real generosity to it, using produce from their allotment and the surrounding area in ambitious dishes with numerous flavours and textures. The passionately described wine pairings are the way to go.
