Forge

Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin

££££

The sprawling Middleton Lodge Estate stretches out over 200 acres and today includes this creative restaurant which sits inside the forge that once served the estate. The tasting menu – which also comes in both vegetarian and vegan forms – features seasonal produce, including some grown on the Estate, where they even harvest their own honey and birch sap. The cooking demonstrates a strong grasp of balance and flavour, with dishes that allow these local ingredients to shine like the picture-perfect Reuben blackberry and pineapple weed tart.

Bay Horse

Modern Cuisine

£££

The jewel in the crown of this 15th-century coaching inn is its lovely garden and terrace, closely followed by its crackling fire for a warm winter's welcome. It's a smart, efficiently run but still relaxed and friendly pub, with serious modern cooking made up of many elements. The kitchen team show an ambitious edge, as well as strong classical technique underpinning the dishes – such as a finely made red wine sauce with grouse. If you want to extend your trip, settle in for the night at their cottage next door.
