Don't you just love the way that tourist information sites give you everything for a 15 mile radius when all you want is walking distance of 1 village.....

The Swannery Restaurant is good but expensive and you have to actually visit the Swannery to get to it - which is a lovely place, has a picture of a relative of mine (possibly my great grandfather collecting thatching reeds) on one of the display boards.

Of the other 19 places to eat on that list, 14 are no closer than a mile away and most are over 2 miles away.

The Gardens sometimes has food available but I can't comment on price, etc., having never eaten there. If you take a picnic, watch out for the peacocks... they have been known to creep up behind and steal sandwiches twixt plate and lip....... pate went down well with them but they aren't adverse to a nice egg and cress. It's no use pointing out the 'do not feed the peacocks' signs, they can't read them.

Sorry to keep pointing out my relatives but my family have been there for 191 years (8 generations) and we were a prolific lot.... in the 1930s there were 32 children in the school, all with the same surame.....
