The Dial House, a restaurant with rooms located in Bourton on the Water, has been recognised as one of the best fine dining restaurants in the Cotswolds. The AA has awarded The Dial House its third rosette, making it one of only a handful of restaurants in the area to receive this prestigious accolade.
Elaine Booth, owner of the Dial House was absolutely delighted, “This recognises the hard work and dedication of the kitchen brigade and the front of house team. Our head chef Paul Nicholson’s creativity and talent is clear to see and taste in the delicious food that is served.”
The AA inspectors were particularly impressed by Paul’s creativity and skill, commenting that ‘Techniques are spot on, and imaginative, confidently handled combinations extend to main courses – poached fillet of brill, of superb quality, with sautéed spinach, a deeply-flavoured oxtail raviolo, roasted salsify, cep purée and tempura samphire.’
Head Chef Paul Nicholson (aged 33) has worked at the Dial House for five years and prior to that he worked at The Arch restaurant in Bath and Bath Priory. His French influences were further enhanced by a six month position at Hotel La Sivoliere in Courcheval 1850.
