The pleasant environs of Eastcote play host to Fifty at The Tudor Lodge, a restaurant in a hotel occupying a restored 16th century farmhouse. Exposed wooden beams and leaded windows lend the venue its character, contrasting well with contemporary décor and giving it its charm. Patrons can dine on traditional English fare with continental touches. The restaurant is within easy reach of the M25 and Heathrow airport.

The atmospheric setting has a tendency to increase the appetite which could be satisfied with dishes like Hampshire rack of lamb with roasted garlic pomme purée and rosemary glace, prawns pil pil style with olive oil and chilli and Grand Marnier créme brûlée with fresh raspberries and biscotti. Enjoy a pre-dinner drink at the bar or select your favourite vintage from the wine list. An after dinner stroll in the well-maintained fragrant gardens that make the hotel an oasis would bring the day to a fitting end.
