Moor Hall Restaurant with Rooms

Winner of the 2022-23 AA Chefs’ Chef award, Mark Birchall continues to work quietly at this wonderfully restored Grade II* listed manor house, ensuring its position as one of the UK’s leading gastronomic destinations. It’s hard to do justice to the place in words, but Moor Hall, with its lovely traditional interiors (all oak beams, floorboards, and open fires) and set in five acres of beautiful gardens and lake, is a truly wonderful place to stay, and to eat. You’ll find the kitchen, and the restaurant itself, in the modern, glass-walled extension, and an extensive kitchen garden aims to provide vegetables throughout the summer. Menus are seasonal, evolving daily and weekly, although some dishes are more permanent fixtures. You can expect a very modern take on British flavours, and the 'Provenance' menu, served at both lunch and dinner, and a four-course lunch option, offer pin-sharp, contemporary interpretations, from the signature Paris market carrots with chrysanthemum and sea buckthorn and Doddington cheese snow, through turnip broth poured at the table over spankingly fresh crab with anise, hyssop and sunflower seeds. Cornish lobster might come with Tarleton tomatoes, fresh and fermented, smoked marrow and rosehip. The wine list is beautifully presented and full of gems, with a clear focus on food matching. Service is impeccable.
