Modern cooking at a price that keeps the decision simple

At ££, the case is strongest for diners who want a meal with some ambition while keeping the spend moderate. If the trip is built around comparing nearby or regional options, Arras, The Abbey Inn, Hansom, Bay Horse, Darleys are natural names to check alongside The Lime Tree Inn.
