Grantley Hall in Ripon has unveiled a fresh seasonal chapter at The Orchard, the hotel’s popular indoor-outdoor dining destination, with the launch of The Orchard in Bloom. The new concept celebrates seasonal flavours and the spirit of English spring and summertime.
Designed to evolve in-line with the natural changing seasons, The Orchard will now feature a rotating botanical calendar, inviting guests to experience something new with every visit. Each menu is carefully curated in collaboration with Grantley Hall’s trusted drinks partners and the hotel’s own pastry team, showcasing the finest seasonal produce through limited-edition drinks and desserts.
April’s botanical menu places the spotlight on Yorkshire’s much-loved rhubarb, one of the earliest signs of spring. Created in partnership with Harrogate-based aperitif brand Sommer, the menu features the Ripon Rhubarb Frozen Cocktail, a Rhubarb & Raspberry Negroni, and a Vacherin of Rhubarb, Apple & Lemon Balm.
Commenting on the launch, Nuno César de Sá, General Manager at Grantley Hall, said:
“The Orchard in Bloom is about capturing the essence of the seasons and creating an experience that continues to evolve. From the flavours on the botanical menus to the atmosphere of the space, every detail has been designed to feel uplifting and beautifully in tune with nature.”
The Orchard is open to both hotel residents and non-residents, whether visiting for dining, drinks, or to enjoy the relaxed open-air atmosphere. Bookings are recommended for those wishing to dine. Guests can also look forward to the return of Sunday Sessions on selected dates, with live acoustic music providing the soundtrack to sun-soaked evenings at The Orchard.
