You cannot help but fall in love with this iconic country house restaurant. As its name suggests, the seasons lead the way: wander the grounds and you’ll discover an amazing array of plants, as well as a 2,500-strong orchard. Raymond Blanc's protégé, Luke Selby, heads up the kitchen and, while the skilfully executed cooking has a classic French base, it also comes with a light, modern touch. The multi-course set menus are exquisitely balanced, flavours are intense, combinations are sophisticated and the presentation shows an eye for detail.
