Food Scene
There are several supermarkets within walking distance of the house. Waitrose is probably the closest and has a selection of quality ready cooked meals you can pop in the microwave.
The Bull is stylish and relaxed with a good European menu. It's a great place for meeting friends and has a sunny garden full of flowers. Upstairs, through the Ballroom, the Monmouth Bar serves great evening cocktails in a groovy setting.
