Mountsorrel, British, Modern Restaurant Guide

North of Leicester, in part of the East Midlands not over-burdened with top eateries, John Duffin’s family-owned venue is a particularly high achiever. Now in its tenth year, it’s part of the family farm (Stonehurst Farm) where he grew up and which helps supply the kitchen (and there are also cottages available for overnight stays). Choose in the evening from a five-course or seven-course tasting menu for £100 and £120 per person respectively: “excellent accessible cuisine at a realistic price” that’s “always a delight”.
