The Crazy Bear Beaconsfield is a meticulously restored 15th century coaching inn, rated by Conde Nast as one of the 'best new hotels in the world'. The decor is luxurious and opulent and provides diners and guests with the feeling of unmitigated indulgence. So you could savour Beluga caviar with vintage Krug in an intimate crystal studded leather booth or sit down to a twelve plate Thai tasting menu, or snack on Aberdeen Angus mini burgers on the terrace beside the pool.

In the English restaurant, diners enjoy dishes like confit belly of home reared Gloucestershire Old Spot pork with Lyme Bay scallops, apple, chorizo and crispy potato. The vegetarian menu includes delights such as goats' curd and beetroot salad, and caramelised shallot tatin with rocket and aged balsamic. There's also a set lunch menu which changes monthly featuring recipes and ingredients from the Crazy Bear farm and farm shop. Sunday lunch is extremely popular, served from midday till 10pm.

At the Thai restaurant you could try crispy duck salad with mango, roasted cashews, pomegranate, spring onions, and cherry tomatoes, and steamed red snapper with lemongrass, galangal, chillies, garlic, kaffir lime leaves and coriander.

Leading mixologists create some interesting cocktails at the bar including Crazy Bear exclusives such as the Foaming Mojito and Mad Hatter's Tea Party. For those who might want to combine dinner with an overnight stay, ten luxurious bedroom suites are available.
