Jester's Brasserie, The Lord Leycester Hotel - Warwick

Ideally situated right in the centre of Warwick, but only a short drive from the M40, the purpose-built Lord Leycester Hotel is equally handy as a basecamp for business, sightseeing or pleasure.

Modern British cooking is the order of the day in the hotel's Jester's Brasserie. Open your account with prawn, smoked salmon and crabmeat roulade with vierge dressing or asparagus spears with hollandaise sauce before moving on to fillet steak on a breaded Brie croûton with red wine and Stilton sauce or sea bass with a pine nut and basil crust on a red pepper, fennel and herb cream sauce. As a finale, consider bread-and-butter pudding with apricot and cinnamon or Champagne and raspberry torte.
