To finish, diners can enjoy a dessert that celebrates the full fragrance of summer, with Lemon and Lime Posset accompanied by English strawberries. Each dish has been designed to showcase the very best seasonal British produce while reflecting Glynn’s innovative and imaginative approach to cooking.
