Ancient beams and roaring fires are all part of The Yew Tree's 17th-century charms, but it's the creative modern British cuisine that really draws in the crowds to this Marco Pierre White-owned restaurant. Close to the picturesque Highclere Castle, the refurbished interior is full of light wood and pale colours, with several interconnecting whitewashed rooms lending the space a sense of intimacy. Fixed price menus are available for lunches, early evenings and Sunday suppers.
