Description

In an idyllic location overlooking Midsummer Common, inside an equally beautiful Victorian house, you'll find this stylish, long-standing restaurant. Over 20 years into its lifetime, the dishes are continually evolving thanks to a kitchen which is not afraid to push the boundaries. Every course is packed full of personality and originality, especially the stand-out desserts like delicious coconut parfait served in a mock-coconut shell made of Nyangbo chocolate. Luxury ingredients are generously used, flavours are measured and there’s an appealing range of different textures.
