Chilly on a wet summer's day, but food that's good enough to construct a building around - which they appear to have planning permission for. The modern European menu feels fresher for being able to wander around the walled garden. Discount available in the shop afterwards.

Delightful setting...absolutely gorgeous food and the most welcoming service.
