Four Seasons

England’s smallest town is a pretty little place and this elegant Arts and Crafts-style building fits it perfectly. It sits in a delightful spot beside the river and its wisteria-covered terrace affords wonderful views. An impressive wood-topped bar and open fires welcome you in and the wood-panelled dining room bursts with charm. The cooking is modern, creative and sometimes playful but this is never at the expense of flavour, thanks to the excellent ingredients used to power dishes like South Coast turbot with a superb vin jaune and dashi butter sauce.
