Eat & Drink
Dining in
Expect more-ish modern English cooking. The restaurant is cosy yet smart, with glowing oak panelling, candlelight, big comfy chairs, starched white linen and silver cutlery. Try quail egg, bacon and avocado salad with red onion dressing as a starter, followed by grilled fillet of sea bass with prawn and pea risotto, and polished off with a Rose and Crown stem ginger ice cream. The Yorkshire Blue, spinach and pancetta risotto is another favourite.
