There is also a fine dining option that begins with sourdough breads, an amuse-bouche and a starter of jasmine tea-smoked salmon with horseradish mascarpone and watercress. Mains include a bacon-wrapped turkey roll with all the traditional trimmings and a truffle or porcini mushroom Wellington, and dessert is a raspberry choux served with pistachio and vanilla cream.
