Burlington Restaurant

Fine food and wines are served in The Burlington Restaurant. Head Chef Michael Wignall has made a reputation for himself as one of the country's leading chefs and the restaurant was awarded a star in Michelin's The Red Guide 2003, placing it in the top 110 restaurants in the country.

Managing Director, Jeremy Rata's interest and experience in the field of fine wines has been instrumental in the selection of the 1500 bin wine list including an outstanding choice of rare wines and vertical vintages. A key feature of the list is the choice of over 60 house wines.

On the walls of the restaurant is a series of reproduction architectural drawings by William Kent, friend and colleague of the Earl of Burlington, an ancestor of The Duke of Devonshire. Lord Burlington was a patron of the arts and the most famous amateur architect of the early 18th century. The originals are part of the world famous collection of drawings at Chatsworth.

The tables are polished antique dressed with fine bone china, crystal and silverware. The restaurant has been extended into a conservatory, which looks out over the Italian garden and towards the Wharfedale fells.
