"A faithful servant of Old Amersham for many years, Gilbey's is still the model of a dependable neighbourhood bistro. The setting – a converted grammar school with a lovely courtyard garden – is a big plus, and the kitchen plays with a straight bat. The lively menu might take in pork and pink peppercorn terrine (£7.75), confit duck with red onion tarte Tatin (£16.95) and lemon tart with cranberry and orange sorbet (£6.85). The Gilbey family are also wine importers, so expect plenty of good stuff from £13.95. Open all week."

"Located on the High Street of Eton, close to the River Thames and between the historic buildings of Eton College and Windsor Castle. Gilbey's is the perfect place to meet for lunch, dinner, afternoon tea or simply a drink at the Bar. This year they have also opened a stunning top floor Studio Suite for guest accommodation with rooftop views to Windsor Castle."
