Draycote Hotel

The championship 18-hole course is sure to pull in the crowds, and the modern Draycote Hotel is well-placed for the Midlands motorway network; add to that conference and banqueting facilities too, and it is easy to see the appeal. The hotel's Papaveri restaurant matches the easy contemporary manner of the place, with food that is equally on the money. Start perhaps with a terrine of duck and pistachios accompanied by plum chutney, moving on to spring lamb cutlets served with a faggot, fondant potato and roasted vegetables. Finish in the comfort zone with brioche bread-and-butter pudding with peanut butter ice cream>
