Lords of The Manor or Vineyard at Stockcross?

[Loving Annie]

Which of the two would be best for a delicious lunch? And why?

(We will be visiting the Hidecote Manor gardens, so in the general neighborhood, and happy to have a pretty drive.)

Vineyard at Stckcross lost their 2 Michelin Stars because the former Chef left, and the new Chef started in October 2009, too soon to be included in the November deadline.

However, Chef Daniel Galmiche appears to be quite ambitious, and has cooked at Michelin star level for 22 years.

Lords of The Manor Chef Matt Weedon already has One Michelin star.

How to compare the two? Anyone dined there recently who could answer this?

Thanks:)

Personally, I'd go to Lords of the Manor. More my kind of food. Why not compare the menus online and see what takes your fancy?

It's a long while since I ate at either, but in terms of setting, would you prefer a beautiful (if twee) Cotswold village (LOTM), or the dull outskirts of Newbury?

Nikloman and Bainsey: Lords of the Manor for lunch it is:)!
