The Fat Duck, Bray, Berkshire
Well worth legging it to the delightful village of Bray
to sample Heston Blumenthal's daring creations in this
the chef's choice. Top chefs have all made pilgrimages
here and so should you. Knowledgeable and relaxed
service exemplified by charming Manager Nigel who will
take you through the breakthtakingly original dishes in
intricate detail. But then the whole point of this
restaurant is that the dishes are so complicated that no
one in their right mind would ever attempt them at home.
Sparkling new decor with lots of leather and wood just
adds to the general air of perfection. Perfection which
has duly been noticed as The Fat Duck was recently
awarded with it's third Michelin Star. What's cooking?
Crab biscuit with crystalised seaweed and oyster
vinagrette, veal sweetbread roasted in hay and pollen
with cockles a la plancha, parsnip puree and choux
pointu.

Le Champignon Sauvage, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire
The unremarkable pub-like exterior of this intimate 28
seat restaurant does little to prepare the unsuspecting
for the exceptional experience within. Dining room walls
are lined with Fauvist paintings while tables bear vivid
cover plates - both hint at the boldness and
individuality of the chef's style. From an amuse bouche
of vivid green and intensely herbal parsley coulis with
parsley root froth - served alongside a light-as-air
foie gras royale with egg yolk and brioche cream - to a
pre-dessert of cr�me brulee encrusted with space dust,
David Everitt-Matthias's food continually surprises,
challenges and delights. Flavours are layered and
contrasted in a dish of meltingly tender sweetbread,
crusted with cocoa nibs, served with parsnip puree and
liquorice jus, displaying the kitchen's technical
abilities to pleasing effect. Hedgerow ingredients
feature across the menu from a slow braised breast of
veal stuffed with nettles and snails to a dessert of
frozen prune and burdock root mousse with a wonderfully
toasty almond ice cream. Service by Helen Everitt-
Matthias is genuinely warm and welcoming and prices for
food and drink are some of the most competitive for
cooking at this level.

5 North St, Winchcombe, Gloucestershire
You don�t need much of an excuse to visit the
Cotswolds, but here�s one anyway. Chef/proprietor Marcus
Ashenford last impressed at Chavignol (Michelin star
1998) and this, his own restaurant (Michelin star 2006),
likewise melds British ingredients with French
technique, albeit more simply (and cheaply); Old Spot
pork with crackling, fondant potato, stuffed cabbage and
a cider jus is deliciously typical. Villagey charm comes
courtesy of heavy wood beams and we're in complete
agreement with the reader who says 'anyone who
appreciates cooking and flavours in food could not fail
to be impressed'.
