Description
Once the home of poet and critic TS Eliot, this attractive house by the town centre has undergone a complete refurbishment in the elegant and luxurious dining room at the rear. Rich colours and clean lines complement the rustic room with its beamed walls and ceiling. The atmosphere is intimate and welcoming, with polite, professional and knowledgeable service. Modern cooking combines British style and French influences, with a deft touch and well-judged ingredients, in dishes of seared scallops with vanilla-poached pear purée and red wine shallots, followed by roasted venison with buttered beans, pear and chocolate oil, and maybe crème caramel with prunes in Armagnac or polenta cake with pineapple and lemon cream to finish.
