Restaurants and Bars

The hotel’s Oak Room restaurant has received 2 AA Rosettes for the outstanding preparation of its food and the good quality of the ingredients it uses. The restaurant offers traditional food in a contemporary setting with a relaxed atmosphere and good service.

The hotel’s Tudor Bar is great for a more informal meal and offers a more casual menu. The bar offers the hotel’s own Rose and Crown real ale and offers a relaxed atmosphere, with a roaring log fire in the cold winter.

Both of the hotel’s dining areas are situated in the older part of the hotel and boast beautiful original features, such as ancient wood beams.
