Buckinghamshire's Restaurant of the Year picks up 3rd local food award

Chef Grant Hawthorne recently spent 5 days representing the UK as one of their Terra Madre chefs, at the biennial international Slow Food’s Terra Madre/ Salon de Gusto in Turin, Italy.

During his brief absence, the restaurant received their third award of the year:

He continued: ‘It has been an exciting year: We’ve managed to pick up the trio of awards as a tribute to the growing reputation of our restaurant, and our magnificent local suppliers’.

He comments further: ‘At the end of the day, we’re a local’s restaurant, serving local food and supporting the local economy. We’re proud of our awards and hope it raises the profile of quality dining in greater Milton Keynes’.

Head Chef, Grant Hawthorne, has introduced his Christmas party menus with a variety of seasonal heritage potatoes and apples to add to the all British cheeseboard which has garnered national attention.
