If you are wondering what to buy a baby, get them a lifetime membership for the National Trust. With a bit of luck, it will work with their parents and then their children, and it is difficult to overestimate the importance of the National Trust: it is not just dead peoples' stuff.
By and large, their catering is very middle of the road for middle England, and often seemingly run by volunteers. Yes, there are catering professional involved, but the amateurs are still there.
Lyme House, near Stockport has a restaurant that was unexpectedly so good, it is worth going there for the lunch alone.
In a typical rustic outbuilding location, you will find middle England at lunch.
I had the soup of the day(large) which was a carrot and caraway (not coriander for once), which was an interesting taste, CHOF of 8.8 with some crusty roll, but the main courses were excellent.
I had the open Cumberland sausage sandwich with onion chutney and bits
As you can see, this was attractively serve, was very tasty and was a 8.9 on the scale. My wife had a venison salad with beetroot mouse and a mole sauce. Very inventive, and also attractive and tasty. It seemed that other visitor dinners were well pleased. It was not cheap, but I think we got extremely good value for money
The house full of other dead peoples stuff is also worth a visit. A good collection of clocks and tapestries.
