I visited this restaurant in July 2020 and was impressed by the high standard of food and good service. Modern European cuisine and your receive an electronic version of the menu once you have made your booking online.
I ate a celebratory meal at the restaurant here and it didn’t disappoint. Quite expensive but a good standard.

Houses and gardens
Built by a successful member of the Honourable East India Company, and still owned by the same family, Seizincote is a memorable outing. Near to Batsford so you could combine the two. The Horse and Groom pub is nearby and I have heard good things about it but please check that this is still the case.
