Set within the historic Coach House on Swinton Estate, the Michelin Guide-listed Chef’s Table has built a reputation for its immersive estate-to-plate dining experience.

Under Keeble’s leadership, the restaurant will continue to champion seasonal British cooking, with ingredients sourced from the estate’s garden, tenant farmers and local Yorkshire producers.

Keeble’s arrival comes shortly after Steve Darou joined Swinton Estate as executive head chef from London’s renowned St. John restaurant group, marking a significant new chapter for the estate’s food scene.

The Chef’s Table will reopen on 1st October, serving eight-course dinners from Wednesday to Saturday and a five-course lunch on Saturdays. Dinner will be priced from £110 per person, with optional wine pairings from £85.
