With long, sunny nights ahead, Hotel du Vin and Bistro in Cheltenham has unveiled its delicious new summer menu.

Designed for lazy afternoons and evenings relaxing with friends over a glass of wine, the menu is packed with fresh and light flavours.

Starters on the new menu include a Severn and Wye Smoked Salmon Classic, £9.50, which is smoked in front of you, a Chicken Liver Parfait, £7.95, served with a hazelnut brioche muffin and tomato chutney and there's a whole host of innovative new dishes to try, including Salt Baked Beetroot with Whipped Goat's Cheese, £6.50, sumac and Greek yoghurt.

Main courses range from a Rack of Yorkshire Dales Lamb, £26.95, served with a pea, bean and goat's curd salad to Sea Bass, Panzanella Salad, £16.95, and nasturtium pesto and butter.

For those who don't want meat, the Aubergine Caponata and Grilled Halloumi, £13.50, is a wonderfully-spiced stew with capers, olives and tomatoes, served with flat breads and halloumi which gives it a delicious saltiness.

To round off your meal, dainty desserts include a delicate tart of finely-sliced apples with Calvados ice cream, a lemon meringue cheesecake with elderflower jelly, the Italian-favourite affogato and a pineapple and coconut kulfi.

Each has been paired with a wine which perfectly complements the flavours.
