Our chef, Simon Crannage, enjoys an enviable reputation for the quality of the food served at Samuel's. Swinton Park's 3 AA rosette Restaurant. The restaurant has been awarded membership of the esteemed Chaine de Rotisseurs association, and is listed in Hardens as a "Top Scorer". The hotel has also been awarded membership of the Tea Guild, in recognition of its excellent quality of service and high standards.
The emphasis in the restaurant menu is on seasonal and local produce inspired by the fruit, vegetables and herbs grown in the hotel's four acre walled garden (the largest hotel kitchen garden in the UK), and the menus change accordingly. The hotel is also surrounded by a 20,000 acre estate stretching from the River Ure in Wensleydale up onto the moorland Dales and estate venison, rabbit, smoked trout and game are a few examples of the local ingredients sourced from it.
Breakfast is served from 7.30 until 10.00am, Lunch from 12.30 until 2.00pm, and Dinner from 7.00 until 9.30pm (Sunday to Thursday) and 10.00 on Fridays and Saturdays. We strongly recommend that guests reserve tables for lunch and dinner.
Join us for a three course festive lunch between Wednesday 10th and Wednesday 24th December in Samuel's restaurant or in one of our private dining rooms (depending on group size). The lunch includes coffee and petits fours and costs £20 per guest. Sunday lunches are not included in this offer.
