Dining

RestaurantDining at The Milestone is an event as much as a meal. Wherever you are - the ornate Cheneston's with its fine mahogany furniture, the chic Conservatory, or the split-level Stables Bar-there's more than enough time for relaxed conversation and magnificent food. chef, Luke Davis, and his team make their mark serving a fine international cuisine with an accent on modern British dishes. They balance their natural creativity with a superb range of traditional comfort foods and a willingness to cook something special just for you. If they have the ingredients to hand (organic and, wherever possible, locally sourced), they'll rustle up exactly what you want-when you want.There's a fine choice of wine too: more than 400 vintages, many of them personally chosen by Head Sommelier, Thomas Lamude. Passion for fine wines and gourmet food are the driving force behind popular wine dinners, eight-course degustation menu, and a year-round season of special gourmet events.
