The Vine Restaurant
Welcome to the award winning Vine Restaurant where we are sure that you will enjoy both the fine cuisine and the unique and historic ambience. A sympathetic extension in 1999 has added a beautiful conservatory whilst retaining a ‘wattle and daub’ wall dating from around 1220. The restaurant is named in honour of the fine specimen of Virginia Creeper which grows in the Courtyard – believed to be one of the oldest examples in Europe at over 300 years of age. With over 15 years experience, Jamie Holmes the Head Chef, and his team bring with them a wealth of knowledge gained from working in many highly rated hotels and award winning restaurants. His individual flair for creative food design combined with fresh, locally sourced ingredients ensures that his food is a feast for the senses. Our aim is to strive for the very highest standards of both food and service. We are proud and delighted that we have been awarded an AA Rosette in recognition of our efforts. Where ever possible we use the finest, fresh local produce and most of our products are organically grown. The Vine Restaurant is open 7 days a week including Sunday Lunch. Jamie and Stuart wish you a Bon Appetit! |
