The Moat House
Inspected by
Inspector comments
"Confident, creative cooking in a historic canal setting."
Overview
The Moat House is a 17th-century timbered building, in an idyllic canal-side setting. It’s been skilfully extended and does indeed have a moat. The Orangery is a bright, spacious, chandelier-hung room with ample space. Main courses on the seasonally-changing carte can be complex but equally satisfying.
