Grace and Savour
Grace
& Savour is situated within the Hampton Manor estate, and offers a serene and secluded experience separate from the main hotel.
Owners David and Anette Taylor have created a space that feels like a true home, exuding their own warmth and generosity, personally welcoming guests and giving tours of the establishment and the adjacent walled garden that supplies the kitchen with year-round produce.
Guests frequently catch a glimpse of David and his team expertly preparing the restaurant's astounding 15-course meal in the open kitchen, creating an atmosphere similiar to dining at a talented friend's house.
Standout creations at Grace and Savour include a Jerusalem artichoke shell filled with creamy puree and topped with a delicate layer of apple, a small taco made of potato bread with lobster claw and Oscietra caviar, a hand-dived scallop accompanied by a butternut squash and kelp oil sauce, and a sheep's milk sorbet revealing layers of caramelized whey and rhubarb root oil.
The kitchen exclusively uses locally and sustainably grown ingredients, with no imported citrus fruits found on the menu.
The drink selection is thoughtfully curated, offering alternative pairings such as vermouth, wheat beer, Madeira, and cider, in addition to a superb wine collection.
Grace & Savour has also received other awards and recognition from other esteemed publications, including four AA rosettes and Best UK Restaurant in Squaremeal's Top 100 Restaurant Awards.
