Dinner

Guests can relax before candlelit tables in the panelled dining rooms and enjoy antiques reflecting the tastes of several centuries. The dining room is an oasis of calm, where guests leisurely dine overlooking the magnificent view of the gardens and parkland. Nicholas Evans' superb cuisine at Middlethorpe Hall has won many accolades over the years, and continues to attract connoisseurs of fine food and wine from around the world. The three course dinner costs £43.00 per person. The four course dinner costs £49.00 per person and includes an additional fish course from the first course or a dish from the vegetarian menu.
