A glorious country house built 200 years ago of stone from the Purbeck Hills, situated within its own beautiful, formal gardens

Restaurant

One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating.

Quote Mark Luciano Pavarotti and William Wright.

Relax in the lounge over an aperitif whilst you look at the menu and make your selections.  Once the chefs have prepared your dinner you will be led through to the restaurant to dine by candlelight, overlooking the floodlit gardens; a delightful experience.  Dinner is contemporary English cuisine, served in a relaxed atmosphere by friendly, smiling staff.  Back to the lounge after dinner to enjoy coffee and petits fours sitting by the log fire.

The head chef Nick Holt has worked tirelessly to create menus for The Grange using fresh, local, and seasonal produce.  He draws from his experience in France, Ireland and the UK to blend flavours to make a truly delicious meal.

Yes, we know it is old fashioned, but we love it and so do our guests; the dessert trolley!  What better way to finish your meal than to have the desserts brought to your table and watch your selections expertly served just for you?  The dessert trolley has been a favourite at The Grange for over thirty years.

Awards

In November 2008 the restaurant was awarded an AA Rosette, recognition of Nick's hard work and creativity. The Rosette is awarded to 'excellent restaurants that stand out in their local area. The food is prepared with care, understanding and skill, using good-quality ingredients.'
