The Late Autumn & Foraged Harvest

As the air cools over Rutland, our kitchen lights the wood ovens. Our current seasonal showcase focuses heavily on local estate game, forest-foraged mushrooms, and orchard harvests from just across the Leicestershire border.

Head Chef Michael Warren has crafted a limited-edition tasting menu designed around the earthy, robust flavours of autumn in the Shires.

Local Game Sourcing

Pheasant and venison sourced ethically from nearby Launde and Exton estates.

Foraged Infusions

Plums, elderberries, and wild garlic hand-gathered by our team in the Welland Valley.
