This Restaurant Has No Menu. You Just Have to Trust Them

Fifty Two at Rudding Park in Harrogate is a 20-cover, Michelin-starred restaurant built from recycled shipping containers — and every night, the menu is decided by its 52 raised-bed kitchen garden. Everyone sits at the same time, shares a table, and faces the open kitchen.

Head Chef & Host Adam Degg takes us into the garden with Head Kitchen Gardener Emma Pugh
