Tarsus

The owners of this family-run restaurant and hotel in Southam have been serving up delicious Mediterranean food since 1982 and welcome all to come and enjoy the offering.

Here you'll find an extensive menu featuring traditional Greek and Turkish dishes, all homemade and prepared using ingredients imported directly from Cyprus. Among the delights you'll discover the likes of spinach and feta-stuffed chicken breast cooked in creamy white wine sauce, sea bass with prawns accompanied by sautéed potatoes and finished with a fragrant dill sauce, and Greek favourites such as kleftiko, comprising slow-cooked lamb marinated in spices and served with potatoes, rice and wine sauce. If you find choosing a little tricky, you can enjoy a selection of dishes on the meze platter for just £20 per head. The equally tempting chef's special menu is also worth considering, offering a selection of meze starters followed by freshly grilled meats with rice, potatoes and fresh Coban salad. The ambient restaurant adorned with colourful scenes of Cyprus will transport you to warmer climes as you tuck in, while the option of staying over in one of the lovely rooms will ensure you feel able to fully indulge. Be sure to visit on one of the Greek nights for the chance to learn how to dance like Zorba and smash a plate or two while you're at it
