Biggin Hall’s oak-beamed restaurant possesses an abundance of character and is as cosy by candlelight in the evening as it is beautiful during the day with breathtaking views. Championing a whole host of local produce and seasonal ingredients, embracing a passion for tradition and excellence our kitchen team makes full use of the Peak District's natural larder when selecting produce for the regularly changing menu. Many of the ingredients are of local origin, with the accent on free-range, wholefoods, and natural flavours, together with a seasonal selection of vegetables. The emphasis of the menu is on simplicity and taste. Meals are imaginatively planned and freshly cooked with daily changing menus featuring a set course with a vegetarian option. It is this straightforward approach to cooking that allows the quality of the ingredients to shine through.Please be aware we do not accept children under the age of 12 years old at dinner time or for overnight stays.
