Come for the beautiful decor, stay for chef Jackson Boxer’s equally delightful food.
This restaurant – set inside a Georgian mansion full of eclectic interior delights – is a feast for all the senses. Their outdoor terrace is the ultimate place to enjoy good food and good weather (and maybe get a few pics for Instagram if that’s your thing).

The Black Dog
Head to The Black Dog’s garden or patio for some upmarket pub grub. Their outside space is half covered, ideal come rain or shine, and we can confirm that their Sunday roasts are every bit as delicious as you’d expect. If you’re after a cold one, they have an impressive 14 beers on tap, including a guest beer that changes weekly.
