The Feathered Nest - 25% Discount Two-Night Special Offer

Chipping Norton

Matt Weedon has headed some formidable Michelin-starred kitchens, but the style here is simpler. Maybe Nest garden vegetable salad in miso aïoli; gnocchi with brassicas, truffled leeks and cauliflower; a burger, saddle of lamb, or soft-shell crab KFC style, surely finger-lickin’ good.

With ‘first-rate attention to detail’ and ‘efficient, helpful and delightful staff’, Olga and Alex Polizzi’s updating of a historic Tudor inn, in a medieval South Downs village, has undoubted star quality.

A short hop from Canterbury, a Grade I-listed Jacobean mansion and former music venue, which once hosted rock legends such as The Kinks, was the sixth addition to Robin Hutson’s Pig collection.

Foresters Hall, Cowes

With their background in TV and film, Sara Curran and Peter Sussman, new owners of the former North House, are experts in presentation.
