Wine & Dine in the elegant AA Rosette Restaurant

Elegant dining, tempting menus and personal service – ingredients that make the restaurant popular with residents and locals alike. Dining is always a pleasure with delicious local produce on the menu and the hotel prides itself on superb silver service – an art lost in many places and something few can truly master. The menu is prepared with the finest fresh, local ingredients and includes a traditional roast carved by from our silver carving trolley. The finest of food deserves the finest of wines, so through glass doors in the restaurant a stunning walk-in wine cellar displays our wine and champagne collection, cased in beautiful rich wood.

We like our guests to have special experience when dining in our Restaurant and kindly request casual but smart attire and no faded/ripped jeans, branded t-shirts, shorts, trainers, walking boots or flip flops.
