Superb from start to finish. Amazing food in every course (and fantastic adaptation for my wife’s dairy intolerances). Service was perfect, with friendly knowledgeable service, all in a lovely setting. Fabulous wine (Hattingley Valley Kings Cuvée not cheap but exceptional). Must have been 8 courses for lunch by the time it was all over. Arrive hungry, as the portions can be surprisingly generous too! Even though we booked accidentally for Mother’s Day. Not a mis-step anywhere. Cannot wait to return.
I found this Michelin one restaurant on my way down from Scotland. It located in Yorkshire dale area 15mins drive from National Trust Fountain Abbey. On the day I went for lunch there, I came across a wedding. All the staff are very friendly with smiles, and they are quite helpful in giving direction. The estate is grand event with a river flow through.
The service they provided is excellent and ceremonial. We ordered 7course Tasting Menu. Food is delicately presented and the quantity is just right. And the sommelier is very knowledgable and their non-alcoholic flight is definitely a bonus! They do make lots of efforts to meet the clients' expectation, I am surprised how good the pairing is to go with the food. I walked around the garden after the satisfied meal. Would definitely visit again next time in this area.
The dining room at Shaun Rankin, Grantley Hall is unique. The decor and design are formal yet welcoming, and give a sense of the stately romanticism of the place. The 10-course vegetarian tasting menu was good, on the whole, albeit not the best we've had. It is clear that a lot of thought goes into the dishes, however, and the service is up there with the best (complete with shifting champagne trolley, dessert/truffle trolley and very knowledgeable waiters and waitresses).
The lack of depth in the vegetarian tasting menu means 4* rather than 5* but certainly worth a visit for the ambience, service and overall dining experience.
