Claustrophobes may not enjoy heading down the narrow staircase to the former beer cellar, but this intimate counter restaurant beneath The Blue Posts pub offers an intriguing and rewarding gastronomic experience. There are two sittings per evening and, as the set menu is served to all at the same time, do be punctual – if you're early, try the top floor bar. The prime ingredients are largely sourced from the British Isles, be they Orkney scallops or Lake District beef, and are often combined with Asian notes in a series of delicate dishes; their components are explained in detail by the chefs.
