A feast for the senses at Thornbury Castle

Our dinner at Thornbury Castle was an unforgettable culinary experience on a cool September evening. The restaurant is a captivating space, exuding an elegance that perfectly complements the historic setting.

The menu showcased the finest seasonal ingredients, expertly prepared into dishes that were as visually stunning as they were delicious. We began with a delightful espuma of leek and potato, followed by the vibrant pea soup. For our mains, we opted for the rich mushroom risotto and the perfectly cooked cauliflower, both showcasing the chef’s culinary artistry.

The highlight of the meal, however, was undoubtedly the dessert. The vegan raspberry cheesecake, created especially for us, was a masterpiece of flavour and presentation. The rich, dark chocolate perfectly balanced the tartness of the raspberry sorbet, leaving a lasting impression.

Beyond the exquisite food we were served, the service was impeccable. The attentive staff ensured a seamless and enjoyable dining experience, anticipating our needs and creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

A visit to the kitchen garden earlier in the day further enhanced our appreciation for the culinary experience. Bursting with herbs and vegetables (and fruits, but not at this time of year), the garden is a testament to Thornbury Castle’s commitment to sustainability and local sourcing. Witnessing the fresh produce that would soon grace our plates deepened our connection to the land and further enhanced our enjoyment of the meal.

Dining at Thornbury Castle was more than just a meal; it was a journey through the senses, a celebration of local ingredients, and a testament to the commitment to culinary excellence.
