Pub and restaurant with rooms run by the Banks family who have lived and farmed at Oldstead Grange for generations, and the menu reflects this passion. The emphasis is very much on relaxed dining, there are no airs and graces here. James manages front-of-house while Tommy, his younger brother, is chef.
