Enjoying peaceful views across the river and the water meadows to Salisbury Cathedral, the Bistro on the River occupies a bright and spacious conservatory within the handsome Grasmere House Hotel. An inventive menu blends traditional British food with eclectic global influences to produce dishes such as breast of wood pigeon filled with a rabbit and pistachio mousse or fillet of red mullet with a black olive and herb crust, served on a fricassée of mussels with a dash of Pernod.
