National Restaurant Awards 2014

We are excited to see some of our old favourites ranking on The National Restaurant Awards this year. Congratulations to The Clove Club (and their delicious Blood Orange, Sheep’s Milk Mousse and Wild Fennel), The Ethicurean (where a gleaming slab of Welsh Rarebit brightened up a cold December day), Merchants Tavern (our favourite dish, Hogget broth), Grain Store (delicate truffle martini) and finally The Sportsman (for providing us with delicious grub for our Summer away day 2013).

We can’t wait to try them all *trying to reserve a table at Gymkhana as I type*.
