Boundary-pushing chef Sat Bains has been awarded two Michelin stars for his wildly inventive tasting menus (no à la carte; dietary restrictions can be catered for with advance notice). Book well ahead and beware of hefty cancellation charges. It also has chic guest rooms (double £140 to £190, suite £285). It's 2 miles southwest of the city centre off the A52.
