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.
