With its sweeping bar and chic, contemporary design, Hicks' Brasserie is the hub of the hotel serving meals and drinks throughout the day. Do what suits you: read the papers from cover to cover with a cafetière of coffee and a pastry. Chat with friends over a bottle of wine, or a light lunch (and pudding of course!). Refuel your engines with tea and scones.
Meet for cocktails - we've a tantalising choice and the best bellinis for miles - and, come dinner time, we've a menu that will inspire. You fancy a salad full of seasonal ingredients? You could murder a burger or fish and chips? What about sticky toffee pudding with lashings of cream? It's all there.
On warm days, enjoy a drink, coffee, or lunch on the Pavilion Terrace tucked away in the hotel garden, its borders awash with summer colour. Sit under a shady umbrella and enjoy the peace and quiet from morning coffee to your early evening sun-downer.
'At weekends Hicks' is hectic - Sunday lunch is a treat...- but for midweek lunch it is casual and relaxed...Hicks is best enjoyed from the front room, fashionably furnished and facing out onto the market square. there is a newspaper rack and a fire that blazes through the winter months, but the place is at its best in the summer when sunshine streams through the high windows to give it the feel of a continental bistro.'
