The Tollhouse

You'll find yourself in a proper local spot on Brandon Terrace—the sort of place where the regulars nod at each other and the staff actually know what they're talking about. The Tollhouse has that rare quality of feeling genuinely lived-in rather than designed, with the history of its converted tollhouse bones showing through. The kitchen takes British cooking seriously without getting precious about it: think seasonal ingredients done right, unpretentious flavours, the kind of food you'd want to eat regularly rather than just for special occasions. It's the neighbourhood restaurant that makes you grateful to live nearby.
