Seven Michelin stars for starters! Bray is a totally unique culinary village boasting two of the five three-star restaurants in the UK. It’s home to Heston Blumenthal’s The Fat Duck and his one star gastropub The Hind’s Head plus Alain Roux’s The Waterside Inn. But it’s more than its gastronomic constellation – we love the pretty chocolate box cott...
We love the Michelin star treatment, but for more low key, delicious dining The Crown at Bray is a lovely local, serving quality gastropub food. It’s got a stunning garden with theatrical outdoor kitchen and inside it’s all open fires and low beams.

There’s no business like show business. While we love the fact Michael Parkinson is a local, we’re more excited about the film studio. Bray Studios is best known for being the home of Hammer Horror, but in recent times Tom Hanks has been spotted filming some scenes for Steven Spielberg’s WW2 Netflix drama Masters of the Air.
