Nottingham


A stunning, coffered-ceilinged dining room sets the stage for some of Nottingham's finest dining. Knock-out combinations on its changing menu might include Texel lamb with pistachio and courgette; Irish sea trout with samphire and radish; or morrels, broad beans and goats curd. Follow up with desserts such as poached-rhubarb panna cotta with black-pepper crumble and basil ice cream.
