At The Grove, a strikingly handsome hotel on the outskirts of London, the focus is usually on fine-dining eaterie Colette's. But the hotel's second restaurant, The Glasshouse, is equally diverting with its upmarket and imaginative buffet of well-made dishes from an open kitchen featuring a rotisserie, char-grill, wok and wood-fired oven. The hot section includes rib of beef with Yorkshire pudding and salt-baked onions, duck breast with cherries, or even pan-fried sea bass and turmeric potatoes. There's also a huge range of tapas, antipasti and sushi, and desserts are a cornucopia of Anglo-French delights. Presentation is a triumph. The split-level room boasts an outside terrace for summer alfresco and prices vary between weekdays and weekends.
