Pub and restaurant with rooms run by the Banks family who have lived and farmed at Oldstead Grange for generations, and the menu reflects this passion. The emphasis is very much on relaxed dining, there are no airs and graces here. James manages front-of-house while Tommy, his younger brother, is chef. Expect elegant interiors and cosy downstairs bar with that all important log fire, stone flagged floor and Mousey Thompson oak fittings. Renowned for its tasting menu featuring refined classical dishes with innovative twists, there's imaginative vegetarian food too. There's also a burgeoning two-acre kitchen garden, providing vegetables, herbs and fruit for the kitchen.
