The service was exceptional from start to finish, we ended up staying longer than we expected. The dessert platter was worth the price, fresh fruit, flavoursome desserts and dry ice to set it off! My sister thoroughly enjoyed her birthday treat, I highly recommend the No.2 shisha. Also, a massive shout out to our waiter Saeed who looked after us all night and was on hand if we needed anything. An asset to the team!

Shipston-On-Stour

About the restaurant

Solanche, Richard, and the team at The Royal Oak are proud to offer Michelin-starred dining at our village pub, between Shipston on Stour and Stratford upon Avon, on the edge of the Cotswolds. Since 2019, we’ve been dedicated to exceptional food in a community-focused setting.

Alongside our Michelin-starred dining room, we have a relaxed bar with a pool table and darts, creating a space for everyone. Our menu celebrates terroir-driven, ‘proper country food,’ focusing on wild, seasonal ingredients. Our aim is simple: to tell the story of our community and the local producers we work with.

The menu changes with the seasons, with some dishes lasting six weeks to highlight the peak of their season, while others may be available for just a week or even a single service—a fleeting, micro-seasonal snapshot. This approach supports sustainable land and woodland management, honours the natural balance of the land, and reflects our commitment to preserving it for future generations.

We have been to Baser many times, this time it was a Xmas menu which was over the moon, every dish was perfect. We are Spanish and I have no doubt to say that this is without any doubt one of the best restaurants I have been to. Never, ever disappoints us. Bravo to all the team!

Warwick

About the restaurant

Our menu is based on the principles of Royal Thai Cuisine but with a simple presentation and a strong emphasis on fresh, high-quality ingredients that give exceptional taste. We also follow the traditions of the best Thai restaurants of Bangkok, with à la minute preparations that allow our chefs to maximize the aromatic qualities of fresh Thai herbs and spices.

We serve food from midday, along with a carefully chosen wine list, beers and spirits.
In addition to A La Carte menu every day, we offer lunch box dishes, which are smaller portions of our favorites, served in a wooden ‘lunch box‘ daily 12-2:30 pm (excluding Sundays)

The restaurant is also an Art Gallery setting which is always evolving as the artworks are sold and replaced with new pieces. Our entire art collection is modern, fun and curated.
We are a favorite destination for many regulars in Warwickshire!-We have just won the PRESTIGE Award for Best Thai Restaurant of the Year – Central England (Warwickshire) 2023 2024

Kenilworth

About the restaurant

Located in the historic town of Kenilworth in the heart of Warwickshire, The Cross is an award-winning pub that combines Michelin-starred food with a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere.

Under the guidance of chef-director Adam Bennett, we have held a Michelin star for over nine years and are proud to boast three AA Rosettes. We received a Good Food Award Gold Seal in 2021.

The Cross is housed in a Grade II listed 19th-century inn and has been sympathetically restored to retain its heritage alongside contemporary touches that make it a fabulous place to enjoy great food, a casual atmosphere and informal but attentive service.

Our main dining room is a former school room that leads to a cosy and welcoming bar - previously a butcher's shop.

Another dining room overlooks the pass, where guests can glimpse the team of chefs busily at work.

We have a green and spacious pub garden, perfect for aperitifs, cocktails and post-dinner drinks.

As usual the food was lovely and plentiful. One small personal issue is the chicken lacked some flavour and held oil and ribs could have been cooked for longer. My partners mixed grill was cooked as asked and fat removed from meats as requested. There was plenty there
