Customers at Didcot's Splitz restaurant - formerly Crowmarsh Classic Motorcycles - who've had a little too much bubbly can stay the night.
The eatery in Wantage Road doubles up as a B&B, with single, twin and double rooms available from £25 per night. Not a bad option, perhaps, if you've overdone things by knocking back a few chilli vodkas along with the Signature Seven selection costing £45, which includes ballotine of foie gras, pork belly with pan seared scallops, roasted sea bass, roast duck breast, the Splitz chessboard, sorbet and hot chocolate fondant. Vegetarian alternatives are available (email info@splitzdidcot.co.uk).
The kitchen is led by Chris Finnigan, who joined Splitz following a four-year stint at Raymond Blanc's Manoir Aux Quat' Saisons, so the staff know how to rustle up intricate grub. For people who are obsessive about parking spaces, you can leave your vehicle in the front of the restaurant as well as behind the Wheatsheaf pub, which is only 100 yards away.
The only possible downside is the restaurant's location, in famously unglamorous Didcot. You can't have it all.
