About Sanctum on the Green

From the outside, The Sanctum on the Green looks like a charming country hostelry, possibly with quaint furniture and crackling log fires, not to mention something for the hungry traveller to eat. Inside, however, you'll find not only the charm of that fantasy country inn, modern conveniences and the genius of Michelin-starred chef Garry Hollihead masterminding the kitchen. If you liked Embassy in London, you'll find you love the same extraordinarily high level of cooking, drinks and service here in the lovely Berkshire countryside. The dining room itself is spread over three rooms, including a charming conservatory, and in summer there will be plenty of seating al fresco. The menu features dishes like fillet of venison "Wellington" with truffle sauce, sea bass, lemon thyme and parsley risotto and baby squid with tomato butter sauce. Fab wines, great service, wonderful ambience. Come for dinner, stay for the weekend.

Smoked rump of lamb, boulangere potatoes, dried tomato, shallot jus.

The Inn on the Green is a bit difficult to find in the darkness but it is absolutely worth taking the effort. The food is excellent and portions are quite big. Prices are surprisingly reasonable. The service is very friendly and efficient even though I have to admit the restaurant was not full when I was there, so can't say how it is on a busy day. The ambiance is very cosy with a touch of elegance in this nicely renovated seemingly very old building.

Delightful country venue close to London, we thoroughly enjoyed our Sunday lunch in the at the Inn on the Green. The menu had just enough choices to please everyone and is very well priced. The food was very fresh, well prepared with terrific, high quality ingredients. Service was not great, but it was Sunday lunch in Cookham Dean, ineffective maitre 'd, no fresh pepper, and a mean offering of a single, but delicious, slice of bread, did not spoil our enjoyment. Recommend!
