We chose the Tasting Menu plus a couple of oysters each. Every course was a winner. The presentation was gorgeous and the flavours were sublime. A surprising highlight was the jalapeño granita served with the chalk stream trout. We enjoyed the local English wines, both still and sparkling from Simpsons.
