I've wanted to go to Stoke Place http://www.stokeplace.co.uk/ for a long time and with Easter i finally had a good excuse :-) Together with friends and their children we made our way to Stoke Place for a pre-booked "Easter egg hunt" followed by lunch. We were very lucky and "our" kids were the only kids booked in for the hunt... so we ended up with a LOT of chocolate. The hotel grounds are beautiful with a large lake that you can walk around. The restaurant had a special Easter menu for £35 pp. You had a choice of starters, mains and desserts followed by coffee and petit fours.
I through the food was beautiful and very well presented. I started off with a starter of Mackerell with aubergine puree and a sort of star anise powder that just melted in the mouth. Very interesting! My main was a beautiful sole with a fennel puree and vegetables.. very light and tasty.
The dessert was a vanilla and rhubard creme brulee with a raspberry sorbet.. gorgeous!
I would definately like to go back again in the summer!
