To kick off the festive season, Grantley Hall’s brand new orchard will become an alpine-themed winter wonderland: with möet and mulled wine on the menu.
The ultimate wintry retreat has arrived, and it’s less than an hour away from Leeds.
Think Alpine chic, with all the festive trimmings, set in the grounds of a historic estate: it’s fine-dining at its best.
The Orchard at Grantley Hall will become Aprés, an alpine-themed drinking and dining destination, ready to bring all the Christmas cheer to your table.
Inspired by snowy mountaintops and cosy cabins, Aprés intends to be a sensory experience that won’t be forgotten.
Snack on delicious small plates like Three Cheese Arancini or dip Gruyére croutons into Caramelised French Onion Soup before moving on to the main courses that Aprés have to offer.
On the menu you’ll find all the best winter warmers, from traditional European favourites like slow braised Beef Cheek Bourguignon with creamed potatoes and Warmed Ratte Potato Salad with truffle dressing.
The Traditional Cheese Fondue is perfect for sharing. Cured meats, ratte potatoes, cornichons and pickled onions with sourdough and, of course, an seemingly endless supply of gooey melted cheese.
Save room for desert as the Aprés menu needs to be thoroughly sampled: all three courses.
The Melting Valrhona Hot Chocolate Cake is a show-stopper that even Mary Berry would be tempted by. Served with homemade marshmallows and malted milk chocolate sauce: the effortless fusion of the hot drink and sweet treat showcases festive menus at their finest.
Luxurious cocktails are also on the menu, alongside the well-known Grantley punch selections like the orignial blend of framboise, fraise, vodka, champagne float and lemon juice or their Waterfall Punch with elderflower gin, lemon and mediterranean tonic.
Moët and Ruinart champagnes are amongst some of the fine collection at Aprés, alongside carefully selected wines from around the world.
Based in Ripon, just North of Harrogate, Aprés at The Orchard will be open from Saturday 6 November, but due to popular demand their opening night launch party has already sold out.
