Shaun Rankin At Grantley Hall

Absolutely fantastic. The venue is spectacular, the food is exquisite and the staff are wonderful. Tom and the team in the kitchen produced an amazing tasting menu. Front of house the staff were attentive and bubbling with personality. A new venue on my list of favourites, we shall definitely return soon.

Based on many happy meals at Shaun Rankin at Grantley Hall, I would very happily recommend for a reliably excellent Michelin Starred dining experience. The menu has a very strong foundation (based on locality) with interesting seasonal changes, and has never left me anything but satisfied and impressed in equal measure. The front of house team are excellent, and the drinks pairings highly recommended. The new soft drinks flight is one of the very best non-alcoholic pairings in starred restaurants. Grantley Hall is a lovely venue to stay for a few nights if dining at Shaun Rankin but the starred restaurant is very much the jewel in the crown that never disappoints and sets the standard for the rest of the establishment. PS More widely to Grantley Hall, the venue is 10/10, Shaun Rankin 10/10, hotel service 5/10, Afternoon Tea 6/10, Fletchers 6/10, Eight Eight 8/10, Breakfast 6/10, Spa 10/10, Spa Treatments 7/10, regular rooms 9/10, junior suites 6/10, higher suites 10/10, bar, cocktails etc 10/10.

Superb from start to finish. Amazing food in every course (and fantastic adaptation for my wife’s dairy intolerances). Service was perfect, with friendly knowledgeable service, all in a lovely setting. Fabulous wine (Hattingley Valley Kings Cuvée not cheap but exceptional). Must have been 8 courses for lunch by the time it was all over. Arrive hungry, as the portions can be surprisingly generous too! Even though we booked accidentally for Mother’s Day. Not a mis-step anywhere. Cannot wait to return.

I found this Michelin one restaurant on my way down from Scotland. It located in Yorkshire dale area 15mins drive from National Trust Fountain Abbey. On the day I went for lunch there, I came across a wedding. All the staff are very friendly with smiles, and they are quite helpful in giving direction. The estate is grand event with a river flow through. The service they provided is excellent and ceremonial. We ordered 7course Tasting Menu. Food is delicately presented and the quantity is just right. And the sommelier is very knowledgable and their non-alcoholic flight is definitely a bonus! They do make lots of efforts to meet the clients' expectation, I am surprised how good the pairing is to go with the food. I walked around the garden after the satisfied meal. Would definitely visit again next time in this area.

Stunningly good. We had Sunday lunch at Shaun Rankin and every element was excellent: beautiful room, wonderful servers who were formal enough but also very nice, just stunning food, and very reasonably priced for what you got. The room is elegant but our five people, dressed to explore various cathedrals and castles, felt comfortable. Each dish was thoughtfully explained, the pacing was moderated, certainly not rushed, each taste was layered with flavor and the presentations were very creative. Can’t imagine this won’t rise to a 2 star, or even 3. Well done and well a visit by anyone in the area. (We weren’t staying on property, obviously, but felt very well treated.)

The dining room at Shaun Rankin, Grantley Hall is unique. The decor and design are formal yet welcoming, and give a sense of the stately romanticism of the place. The 10-course vegetarian tasting menu was good, on the whole, albeit not the best we've had. It is clear that a lot of thought goes into the dishes, however, and the service is up there with the best (complete with shifting champagne trolley, dessert/truffle trolley and very knowledgeable waiters and waitresses). The lack of depth in the vegetarian tasting menu means 4* rather than 5* but certainly worth a visit for the ambience, service and overall dining experience.
