TWO ACRES

BEST FOR Ethically sourced fare in a delightful setting. FOOD Focus falls on freshness and quality, and dishes embrace country life subtly with an eye for detail evident in the edible flowers. Subject to seasonal availability, the lunchtime menu includes pork steaks served with cauliflower couscous or home-made hake-and-salmon fishcakes. A firm favourite is the chicken-and-mushroom pie with creamed potato. New York baked cheesecake, lemon meringue pie and gluten-free chocolate-and-orange cake are true indulgences. Between March and September, Two Acres offers a high tea – a feast of sweet and savoury titbits including cloud-light scones, pastries, brûlées, tartlets and artisanal sandwiches to be enjoyed under the dappled light of indigenous trees. DRINKS There’s a Hendrick’s gin bar and the champagne bar serves premiere MCCs. A selection of loose-leaf teas and freshly ground coffee completes the experience. SERVICE Attentive, informed and professional. AMBIENCE Wrought iron tables and chairs in pastel colours feature. (NJ)
