The Gourmet Break
An eight-course seasonal tasting menu from Head Chef Matt Rush, with the option of an expertly curated wine flight should you wish. An overnight stay in a House room, then a full Yorkshire breakfast the following morning.
A table for two in a panelled room
Dine in one of our three intimate dining rooms on the ground floor of the old house: original oak panelling, candlelit tables and each room with its own open fire. You can request the room you want when you book and we’ll do our best to accommodate you whenever possible.
Eight courses, one season
Head Chef Matt Rush brought a wealth of experience to Holdsworth House when he joined us. Having worked in a number of three-rosette kitchens, his skill and passion is evident in every course. His seasonal tasting menu draws from the current à la carte whilst adding a little something extra. At the heart of each dish you’ll find standout local produce given space to shine. A true culinary experience for even the most discerning palate.
The wine flight, or the list
Add the wine flight when you book and each course arrives with its glass, chosen by our sommelier. Or order from the list: Chablis and Puligny-Montrachet by the glass through the Coravin. We also have an excellent selection of alcohol-free wines that might just surprise you.
After dinner, no long drive home
The point of the break. A House double or a four-poster suite just a staircase away from the restaurant, perhaps with a nightcap in the Long Bar on the way.
Our famous Yorkshire breakfast, if you can
Cooked to order: the full Yorkshire, eggs Benedict, or the continental table and a strong coffee. Check-out is 11am.
A gourmet experience, as a gift
The Gourmet Break is available as a gift voucher too: the room, the eight courses and breakfast, valid for a year. The perfect gift for the food lover in your life. You can buy the voucher here.

A guest reviewSeven questions, answered
How long does dinner take?
Give it the evening. Eight courses at an unhurried pace is two and a half to three hours.
Can the tasting menu be vegetarian or vegan?
Tell us when you book and the kitchen will plan the eight courses around you. Allergies the same; it needs notice.
How much is the wine flight?
£65 a person, added on the booking page or on the night. The sommelier pairs a glass to each course.
Can we eat earlier or later?
Tables for the tasting menu are from 6.30pm. Tell us your preferred time when you book.
Can we upgrade the room?
Yes, on the booking page: executive suites with four-posters, or a split-level suite with a sitting room downstairs.
Does the room have a bath or a shower?
It depends on the room. Some have a bath with a shower over it, some a walk-in shower, and a few have both: the split-level suites all have a bath with a shower over it, three of the executive suites have a bath and a separate walk-in shower, and the other three a large walk-in shower. Tell us which you’d prefer when you book. If the room you’re given isn’t right, just say at reception and if there’s something else free we’ll happily move you.
What if we need to cancel?
Packages are paid in full when you book. Cancel seven days or more before arrival and the whole amount is refunded; inside seven days there is no refund. Ring reception on 01422 240024 if your dates need to move and we will do what we can.
