Dining
Moor Hall
Charming grounds lead up to this beautifully restored 16th-century country house, where your meal commences with an array of snacks – the last served in the kitchen by Head Chef Mark Birchall, who introduces some of the outstanding produce to come.

Having worked at various well-regarded restaurants around the country, Tim Allen brought plenty of experience to his first solo venture in this brightly decorated and warmly run converted pub.

WebsiteThe Barn
This rustic restored barn is the more informal dining option at the Moor Hall country house hotel, and shares the same ethos as its revered big sister, with much of the seasonal produce coming from their walled garden and grounds – which are well worth exploring. The airy dining room comes with exposed beams and an open kitchen, while the hedge-enclosed terrace by the lake is magical on a sunny day. The cooking is modern and imaginative, with understated elegance and well-judged combinations of punchy flavours – usually started off with a snack of home-cured salami.
WebsiteBistrot Vérité
A friendly, bustling neighbourhood bistro, serving gutsy French dishes with a classic base, punchy flavours and the occasional international touch. It’s a family affair with Mum Michaela, Dad Marc and their sons all involved, either in the kitchen or front of house. Pop into their next-door bar, Petite Vérité, for pre or post-dinner drinks.
