Dining

Local, fresh, simple and seasonal food is offered in the restaurant - not complicated at all, but very tasty. There is loads of choice, great service and a fun atmosphere - no starch or presumption. Just very friendly.

Head chef Liam McLay came from The Elephant at Pangbourne (a sister hotel to the William Cecil). Prior to joining Hillbrooke, he was head chef at the 2 Rosette Hempstead House, and sous chef at the 3 Rosette restaurant The Lord Poulett Arms.

Liam's favourite dish of the moment : hot smoked duck, walnuts, baby pear salad.

Suppliers to the restaurant at the William Cecil range from Grasmere Butchers, Hambleton Bakery, the Burghley Estate, Coles of King's Lynn, Cote Hill Farm, Ufford Ales, Barrowden Brewery and Miss Pickering's Floral Emporium.
