The Mint restaurant and adjacent Orangery serve the same menu, offering Modern British cuisine with a few Indian flourishes (head chef Anuj Thakur trained in Delhi). Dishes include Herefordshire beef with glazed Evesham carrots and veg dishes such as roasted aubergine roulade with grilled tofu and spinach masala sauce. We recommend the Tandoori-spiced duck supreme with confit duck leg bhaji and makhani sauce.
