Set in a luxurious health spa and hotel, a meal at the Vineyard in Stockross in Berkshire, is sure to be a relaxed and indulgent experience. The two-level restaurant is exquisitely decorated and the eagle-eyed will spot a tiny poppy motif on everything from the fine glassware to the carpets and curtains. The daily-changing menu is teamed with four wines, so the responsibility of selection is removed from your shoulders. However, the a la carte menu could also prove tempting with dishes such as saffron risotto with slivers of squid, or venison with celeriac, bacon and a sloe gin jelly. If you have room, pear shortbread or passion fruit, banana, rum and raisin pannacotta might cause you to loosen your belt.
