The chef who helped set up the award-winning Alexander's Grand Cafe in Skipton has joined Samuel’s Restaurant at Swinton Park Hotel.
Struan Macintyre will be leading the team delivering new menus at the heart of the Swinton Estate.
Struan has grown an excellent reputation working at some of the top hotels around North Yorkshire, including Aldwark Manor, Grantley Hall and the Principal and Hotel du Vin in York.
Swinton General Manager, Paul Hunter, said:
“We are thrilled to have Struan leading a new era for Samuel’s here at Swinton Park, and we are looking forward to how he takes forward our estate-to-plate ethos of bringing the freshest, Estate-grown and reared produce to the discerning classic British and European dining audience here.
“We completed work on the kitchens earlier this year, introducing a £500k investment state-of-the-art technology to deliver a significant reduction in energy use.
“Samuel’s Restaurant itself has been stylishly redesigned, so what better time is there to rediscover the finest Yorkshire food?”
Samuel’s serves traditional British ‘brasserie’ food with a contemporary twist, built around a core of seasonal ingredients from the kitchen garden and wider estate.
An impressive wine cellar provides the complement to any dish, from Swinton Estate Pork Wellington to East Coast Cod Loin; a sommelier is on hand to advise on appropriate pairings of food and wine.
The restaurant is also known for its incredible Sunday lunch – perfect for family get-togethers over hearty local fare – and as one of Yorkshire’s top spots for Afternoon Tea overlooking the parkland at Swinton Park Hotel.
