The restaurant serves meals of a very high standard, and is very popular. However, we found there wasn't much choice at breakfast, with the option of either a full English breakfast or smoked salmon with scrambled eggs.
The Baiting House: modern British cuisine, locally sourced ingredients, seasonal menus. Dishes include wild mushroom risotto, belly of pork and cider battered monkfish. Open daily for drinks, breakfast and dinner, Thu-Sun for lunch.
