In lush countryside close to the Northamptonshire - Warwickshire border, the beautiful Butcher's Arms Restaurant started life as an alehouse around 1375; soldiers firing up for the Battle of Edgehill reputedly used it as a watering hole and – in its current incarnation – it has played host to all manner of celebrities (check out their photos on the walls).
The silver-service restaurant is delightfully traditional and eminently proud of its old-fashioned virtues: staff are impeccably turned out, desserts are displayed on a trolley, and the lengthy menu by-passes fashion in favour of mushrooms in garlic butter, Dover Sole Mornay and tournedos Rossini.
