Wesley House

Wesley House Review

Wooden beams and stone walls distinguish this 15th-century half-timber building, where the red-carpeted dining room makes a fine backdrop for superior Modern British dishes. The seasonal menu might include oak-roasted salmon with pickled cucumber as a starter, and roast guinea fowl with celeriac purée to follow. Fixed-price lunch and evening menus are a good value. You can eat and drink less formally in the adjoining bar and grill, where sharing platters of cheeses, cured meats, or fish lets you sample a bit of everything. Upstairs, five small guest rooms have twisted beams and sloping ceilings, including the Preacher's Room, where John Wesley used to stay.
