A subtle makeover works wonders

Linda Whitehouse — Sat, 01 May 2010 11:30:55 +0000

Well, I am really pleased with life! I’ve had a bit of a facelift.

The consultant advised me against taking drastic measures ,which I couldn’t afford anyway. She told me to accept the blemishes that come with advanced age, forget about keeping up with fashion and just go for a subtle change. So, I did. Rooms 2, 3 and 5 are the first to benefit, with lovely paint colours from Farrow and Ball!

The menu has also had a makeover and the new Brasserie a la carte menu will now be served at lunch and dinner all week, Mondays to Saturdays, with the addition of the chef’s choice of a set lunch menu at our customers’ request. Take a look at it under Menus.

The all new wine list started yesterday and we hope you will all enjoy it. Come and take a look. Try a different wine by the glass..
