Fancy some slow braised belly of Jimmy Butler's free range pork with wholegrain mustard mash and caramelised apples? Or grilled organic Shetland sea trout with fennel and rocket, followed by ice cream from Bennet's Farm? These are three of the dishes on menus devised by double Michelin-starred chef Rob Clayton for Merchant Inns, including The Talbot in Surrey, The Lambert Arms in the Chilterns, The Horse and Groom Inn, Charlton, and the Carnarvon Arms in Burghclere, Berkshire.

Until 30 June, you can get three nights for the price of two at any of Merchant Inns' restored country retreats around the UK, including a three-course dinner on the first night plus breakfast each morning.

• From £95pp for three nights (based on two sharing). merchant-inns.com.
