The Bistro at Storrs Hall

About The Bistro at Storrs Hall

Set beside the water at Storrs Hall, this is a smarter sort of lunch than most family outings, but it works if you plan it. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and level access for a pram, and the terrace is the easy option with children — coffee, cake or a proper lunch outside, with the lake in front of you. The kitchen genuinely delivers: fillet steak cooked properly, starters people still talk about, strong vegetarian and gluten-free choices, and prices that surprise people for the setting. Staff are attentive and happy to steer you through the menu. Worth knowing it's a hotel restaurant, so residents drift in and out and the atmosphere can feel a little transient rather than cosy; booking is sensible, especially for dinner. One family described it simply as an unforgettable meal.
