The Garden Room Restaurant

The Garden Room restaurant has reopened its doors at The Cavendish Hotel in Baslow following a £1.1million investment.

Guests can enjoy a bright, relaxed setting that makes the most of its position overlooking Chatsworth’s parkland, and a new seasonal menu has been created by executive chef, Adam Harper which showcases the best local produce.

Adam has worked in partnership with the Gardeners and Farmers at Chatsworth and local artisan suppliers and farmers – the majority of whom are based within a five-mile radius of the hotel – to develop a menu that celebrates some of the Peak District’s best-known producers, including trout from Ladybower Fisheries, cold pressed rapeseed oil from Bakewell’s Brock & Moreton and pork from the family-run Moss Valley Farm.

The new Garden Room menu features starters such as smoked Ladybower trout and home-cured beef bresaola, mains including lamb, venison and beef from local farms, and plant-based dishes made from vegetables grown in the Chatsworth Kitchen Garden.

For quick bites, a range of sandwiches and speciality coffee will also be available. Those looking for a one-of-a-kind experience can book the restaurant’s new kitchen table, where they’ll watch the chefs prepare a bespoke five-course tasting menu.
