Dinner is served every evening and Lunch on Saturdays and Sundays. The Dinner menu changes daily, but every night a seven course tasting menu or a five course table d’hôte menu is offered. Both menus burst with local and seasonal flavour and all dietary requirements are catered for. It was the seven course Tasting Menu that ruth and I opted to try, this reflects the seasons and produce available, a centre piece of wines and water served from the middle of the dining room complimented the educated and none intrusive service which was impecable throughout, whilst providing drama and theatre. “I want people to sit down and be blown away by the food on their plate but still be able to identify what the individual components are.” Oli Martin, Head Chef For a truly different dining experience, where you can enjoy real rustic flavours combined with artistry and fine wines we have chosen to award Hipping Hall our 2016 ‘One To Watch Accolade’. We must stress that Hipping Hall is not a large hotel and with a small team and their personal attention to detail, offers a unique five star experience. 2 2 c ’ e s t l u x e l i f e s t y l e
