If you're visiting Dragsholm Slot and want to get a sense of its culinary prowess without booking in for a full meal, try the low-key MadBar. Its solid tables are on the castle's rear terrace and it serves a small selection of drinks and light seasonal snacks – perhaps cabbage rolls stuffed with lamb and dried gooseberries or asparagus on toast.
