皮克米尔乡村酒店

A family business has been run on this 17th-century premises for three generations. For many years it was a butcher's shop, the current incarnation of which now sits two doors down, and today Sommelier Vicki has taken on the mantle to run it as this sweet restaurant with her husband Richard. His dishes are founded on excellent quality ingredients, from both specialist suppliers and their own butcher's – like supremely flavoursome Welsh Black beef. Low-ceilinged rooms and exposed beams add to the charm.

You will find a pleasantly welcoming quality at this small restaurant run by three young owners. There’s a distinct Nordic touch to proceedings – think clean, simple décor and an on-view kitchen – yet British produce is at the heart of the appealing menus, which include tasting options, an à la carte and Sunday roasts. Attractively presented dishes offer bold, vibrant flavours with a mix of the classic and the modern in their influences. Wine flights are also available, including a particularly interesting British-themed option.

Tucked away in the Cheshire countryside, La Popote is one of several businesses occupying a centuries-old former farm, and the red-brick converted barn in which it's situated has retained a warm, rustic touch thanks to its brick floors and exposed beams. The owners spent several years working in Paris and this is evident with one scan of the menu, where you'll spot the likes of coq au vin, cassoulet and clafoutis. Classical techniques underpin the cooking, while there's a subtle modernity in the presentation. Service is friendly and assured.
