Plantation House Hotel & Restaurant
An elegantly plated dinner course at Plantation House

Sample dinner menu · £49

Three courses, gently paced.

Our dinner menu changes daily around what the kitchen garden and the week's suppliers bring in. This is a recent evening — yours will look a little different, and that's rather the point.
