IF you’re simply looking for a specialist and refined dining experience, The Dining Room at Mallory Court Hotel near Leamington Spa could satisfy your appetite.
The beautiful, oak panelled restaurant has 3 AA Rosettes and with stunning views from its terrace over the gardens and the Warwickshire countryside beyond, is one of the region’s most celebrated restaurants.
Menus are bursting with fresh, contemporary flavours combined with a modern British flair and dishes showcase the best seasonal produce and kitchen gardens.

The petit fours and coffee were a delightful way to end a rich and opulent meal and an experience I hope to repeat soon.
A two course dinner inclusive of coffee and petits fours costs £55.00.
