Built around an old flour mill and surrounded by lush green meadows and the River Bulbourne, The Watermill Hotel welcomes guests to experience an old world retreat away from the busy city life. Step in to the Riverside Restaurant for an energizing breakfast or a peaceful lunch on the decking area overlooking the river.

Starters of pork and apricot pâté served with peach chutney on wholemeal bread and smoked salmon with avocado and spinach salad could be followed by a main course of lamb ossobuco grilled with minted courgettes compote, or roast sirloin of beef served with Yorkshire pudding and roast gravy. Vegetarians may prefer a crown of Galia melon with seasonal fruits and a honey ginger glaze and parmigiana layered aubergine with tomato sauce and mozzarella.

Wild berry meringue with Chantilly cream and raspberry coulis and chocolate truffle torte with a duo of chocolate sauces could help round things off in style.
