David and Christine Tearle, the owners of the recently refurbished Coterie have successfully turned their restaurant into a smart and friendly place to relax, and enjoy good food and wine.

The ambience blends the beauty of a country house with contemporary styling to give it a rustic yet modern charm, with bare brick and exposed beams on one side, and white walls and modern art on the other.

The Wine Bar gives customers an opportunity to linger over Coterie style tapas, cheese platters, appetizers of duck and pistachio nut terrine, and baked chicken wings, paninis, pastas, seafood, salads, and desserts.

The à la carte focuses on a selection of scrumptious starters that could include Thai fish cakes and chicken liver pâté. Mains consist of pan-fried and roasted duck served on roast sweet potato with a mandarin and orange sauce; mushroom and blue cheese stroganoff, hearty steaks, and salt and pepper tiger prawns with basmati and wild rice.

To finish, perhaps the homemade vanilla cheesecake might catch the eye. The Orangery caters for private dinners, conferences and meetings.
