小麦穗酒店 by Chef & Brewer Collection

Situated within the splendid Great Fosters hotel – itself surrounded by beautiful formal gardens which you'd be wise to walk around – The Tudor Pass is an impressive, intimate restaurant that's right at home in such a charming and characterful setting. The surprise tasting menu comes in two lengths and you'll be glad you went for the longer one once you try the wonderful seasonal cooking. Excellent ingredients are elevated by their well-crafted accompaniments, such as fallow deer with an intense red wine sauce, fried girolles and a sharp blackberry purée that cuts through the richness.

Hidden away down twisting country roads in an affluent part of Old Windsor, this charmingly run pub is a quirky, pretty operation where the food is given pride of place. The location – a tranquil spot on the edge of Windsor Great Park – is a hunting area, so expect plenty of local game on the menu in season, such as venison from the Park itself. The experienced chef crafts his ingredients into complex, attractively presented dishes, with the Bar Menu offering lighter and simpler options. Do look out for the cheese trolley, which is bursting with prime British options.

There’s a degree of opulence to this popular restaurant housed inside a whitewashed building. The striking dark green interior features glitzy rose gold panelling and distinctive tiling, ensuring the dining room feels a little bit special. Modern European dishes make use of effective, well-judged flavour combinations and there’s an assured level of technique in the cooking. Sit in the main room overlooking the fire pit or in the airy conservatory, while the smooth service team look after you with aplomb.
