hartwell house


clever mama brought me mooncakes! and she'd frozen them upon purchase so they'd slowly defrost as she traveled 14h to get to me. they were delicious and i savoured them over the week, sending poor baby into hyperglycaemia every time i ate one.



hotel was adequate. bit unnecessarily posh but oh well, we went with our eyes open. much rather shabby chic / laid back charm. coworth park in ascot would be an example of that and i felt HH was overpriced. i get uncomfortable in overtly fancy places because i much carry my own bag and hm don't like being danced attendance on. 

dins was surprisingly good though! had expected it to be mediocre and overhyped / overrated but every dish was well done. had scallop two ways (oops, meant to avoid raw shellfish. shrugs...) and duck followed by mango souffle for pud. not pictured but my father's venison was also very good. not in the least bit gamey and so tender.
