Make Your Sunday Count  

Sunday is the whole family (dogs and all) settling in for a long and lazy lunch. With Jonas at the kitchen helm possessing some seriously good roasting skills, we promise our Sundays won’t disappoint.  

We’re talking Hampshire venison haunch, sensational aged West Country beef, not to mention our (nearly) famous sharing roasts. All enjoyed with the crispiest of tatties, yorkies the size of your head and gallons of gravy (of course!) 

Whet your appetite

Friendly, Comfy Weekend

My partner and I stayed here for the weekend and it was the friendliest and most personal hotel experience we have had. The room was quiet, the bed was comfy, lovely bath tub with taps in the middle!! And a plethora of choice in the mini bar. Breakfast was delicious. The real standout was the staff. All lovely, welcoming, helpful, and above and beyond what we would have expected. We will definitely be coming back and recommending to all our friends who need a London stay. Thanks guys!
