The Captain’s Dining Room
Cuisine Good Food Guide Selection
Our verdict
The historic White Swan Country Hotel offers a gastrobar, a garden bar and the signature The Captain’s Dining Room with a short seasonally changing menu based on high-quality ingredients sourced from the region and beyond. Start with pan-fried market fish or a chicken terrine and follow with a sourdough crusted lamb loin on parsnip purée or duck breast with textures of pumpkin. Pair dinner with a local wine from a well-chosen and extensive list.
