Garden Restaurant at The Royal Adelaide

Within strolling distance to Windsor Castle and the increasingly fashionable town centre, the Garden Restaurant at this elegant Georgian town centre hotel makes an attractive proposition for lunches and dinners for groups, conferences and special occasions. The hotel has undergone a multi million pound enhancement encompassing all 42 bedrooms and public areas achieving the highest standards possible and an AA 4 star rating.

Start with roasted fennel and potato soup with herbed croutons or home cured beetroot gravlax. A touch of the Heston's finds its way in with pan seared wild pheasant, dark chocolate jus and red currant coulis, or more conventional roasted pumpkin tortellini tossed in coriander pesto. Vegetarians may feel their day has come at last when confronted with Welsh Glamorgan veggie sausages, leeks and Caerphilly cheese with rocket salad and mango chutney, a tasty enough sounding dish even to a hardened old carnivore.

Food such as this is deserving of a sweet ending and a warm chocolate fondant pudding with rum and raisin ice cream rises well to the occasion.
