The spring menu will feature a tangy lemon salad made from an antique variety of the fruit and a tart of bread-an ancestor of today's treacle tart. The panache with which the poster boy for futuristic food serves up these venerable dishes shows that while history repeats itself, Blumenthal sure doesn't. www.thehindsheadhotel.com
