  • We have three onsite restaurants: Le Blaireau, our French brasserie, welcomes children of all ages and offers a children’s menu, as does our modern British restaurant, Cambium.  Zen Garden has a minimum age of 12 years old to dine.

  • Yes. The menus in our three onsite restaurants have a range of vegan and vegetarian options. If, however, you have food allergies or an intolerance, please inform our reservations or reception team upon booking so they can make the kitchen aware.

  • We have a comprehensive list of all of the dishes/foods and drinks available throughout the hotel which highlights 14 key allergens if present. This guidance document is readily available from any member of our team upon request.

    Please speak to our Reservations Team for help with your specific request but in most circumstances we would ask that you book your dining ahead of time and to inform our reservations or reception team of your allergy or intolerance at the time of booking so they can ensure the kitchen team and chefs are fully aware and prepared for your visit.
