Modern French is where Roussillon is at, with a strong a la carte menu divided up into choices of 'classics', 'garden', 'sea' and 'land' based dishes. These translate into wonderfully concocted combinations such as, wild sea bass braised with globe artichoke and country farmed bacon, or pan fried fillet of venison with caramelised pumpkin, late comice pear, truffle and celeriac puree.

There's also a choice of regularly changing set menus that try to bring out the spirit of adventure, making this a place for real foodies with a love of innovative cooking. On the first and third Wednesday lunchtime of every month children aged 11 and under are invited to eat a seven-course menu, free, designed to introduce them to top-class cooking. This bold and innovative gesture is designed to 'excite their palate and their eyes'. How to explain their absence from school is entirely down to you.
