New opening: Garden Room at Devonshire Arms, Skipton

After a fresh makeover and menu re-vamp, the stunning Garden Room restaurant at Devonshire Arms Hotel & Spa in Skipton has opened to excite diners.

Garden Room occupies the bright conservatory space of the hotel’s previous restaurant, Burlington, enjoying views over the hotel’s Italian-style courtyard Garden.

Diners can expect a less formal experience, yet still enjoy exceptional modern British food at this iconic Yorkshire Dales hotel.

The menu will use a thoughtful selection of seasonal produce, gathered from nearby farms including the Bolton Abbey estate, neighborhood artisan producers, and Scottish and Yorkshire fish merchants. 

Executive Chef Adam Harper at The Devonshire Arms, Skipton said: ”I feel confident that diners will enjoy this selection of seasonal fayre. Each plate is simply presented, with the taste of the ‘hero’ ingredient, optimised by interesting flavour combinations, tempting the palate and delivering a sensational result.”

The hotel’s historic walled kitchen gardens grow most of the vegetables, salads, herbs, and home-picked fruits.

After the success of Garden Room at the sister hotel, The Cavendish in Baslow, guests were particularly complimentary of simpler dining choices, and relaxed ambiance, inspiring Garden Room’s opening.

Tasty à la carte options include Salt Aged Yorkshire Duck breast, Exmoor Caviar and BBQ’d Garden Salad. Mains include Eshton Herdwich Estate Lamb, Yorkshire Beef Wellington, and Halibut.

This carefully thought-out menu will invite diners to tailor their own dining experience.

Garden Room at The Devonshire Arms’ botanical design and conservatory setting, with teal and floral upholstered chairs and a backdrop of glossy leaved plants, provides a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere.

During the summer, a seasonal afternoon tea will be served each afternoon, with an option of tables spilling out into the garden to enjoy the beauty of the courtyard.

Garden Room – open Wednesday – Saturday evenings, 6 pm – 8.30 pm

Summer Afternoon Tea, daily between 1-3 pm
