Dining on the Swinton Estate

For every occasion or celebration

A wide variety of culinary experiences

From the grandeur and opulence of dinner in Samuel’s Restaurant; a relaxed lunch or supper in the contemporary Terrace Restaurant and Bar; a quintessential Afternoon Tea in the Drawing Room; Chef’s Table by Josh Barnes; private dining experiences; through to a hearty lunch or piece of cake at Swinton Bivouac Café…

All dining experiences on the Swinton Estate embrace the very best seasonal produce from across the Estate, from our four acre Walled Garden, regionally and locally. The Estate deer herd in the Parkland provides our venison; while our farm tenants provide us with beef and pork products, while our chefs forage for seasonal, wild, edible ingredients from across the Estate.

Samuel’s Restaurant

Enjoy the splendour and elegance of Samuel’s in Swinton Park Hotel, with its spectacular decor complimented by our seamless levels of service, exquisite wine selection and a seasonal menu by Head Chef Struan Macintyre that showcases only the finest locally sourced ingredients.

The Terrace Restaurant & Bar

Situated near the Country Club, The Terrace Restaurant and Bar is at the heart of relaxed eating and drinking on the Swinton Estate. 

Fabulous, beautifully furnished alfresco ‘terraced’ gardens, perfect for spring and summer lunches, suppers and drinks with friends; with blankets, heaters and sheepskins galore for chillier days.

Chef’s Table by Josh Barnes

An unforgettable journey of incredible food and drink by Michelin-trained, award-winning chef Josh Barnes. 

Enjoy a fresh culinary experience like no other at Chef’s Table by Josh Barnes, combining intimate fine-dining with the very best produce grown, reared and foraged on the Swinton Estate, Yorkshire and the North East. 

Afternoon Tea

A quintessential tradition best enjoyed in the spectacular setting of Swinton Park on the Swinton Estate.

Enjoy beautiful, sweet delicacies from our pastry kitchen, locally sourced meats, local preserves, and perhaps a glass of English sparkling wine or champagne, for an extra special occasion.

Swinton Cookery School

The Cookery School runs a busy program of half day and full day hands-on, practical cookery classes throughout the year. Whether you are a beginner with a keen interest or a professional, broadening your knowledge, join us at Swinton Cookery School and fall in love with cooking all over again. 

Private dining

With a flavour of Samuel’s restaurant. The Chef’s bespoke seasonal menu tailored to suit, matched with a choice of wine, alongside patisserie and eau de vie. Before or afters.

Bivouac Café

The quirky Bivouac Café is our ‘on site’ watering hole where delicious, hearty breakfasts, lunches and suppers await! Coffee, teas, oodles of cakes are ready to sustain after fabulous days outdoors. The Bivouac Café boasts fabulous views over the Yorkshire Dales, with plenty of space to eat outside.

Spa dining

Spa Day guests can take advantage of our delicious Poolside Menus – created in the Terrace Restaurant and delivered to you in the Atrium; or lunches and suppers in the Terrace Restaurant and Bar – all utilising produce from the Swinton Estate.

Cocktails and bars

From the cosy opulence of the Castle Bar, sitting close to Samuel’s Restaurant, the light and airy Terrace Bar; through to the beers, wines and spirits in the Bivouac Café, there is plenty of scope to imbibe your favourite tipple. 

Estate produce

Closer to the Hotel, Terrace restaurant, Estate Shop and Spa is the four acre walled garden. This is a working kitchen garden, that grows huge quantities of fruit, herbs and vegetables.
