Autumn Flavours at Headlam Hall: A Harvest of Culinary Delights

This Autumn season, Headlam Hall Hotel offers guests and diners the chance to eat, drink and relax any day of the week.

Whether you're craving a family Sunday lunch, a brasserie snack, an intimate dinner for two or a celebratory afternoon tea, the award-winning restaurants at Headlam Hall have a delicious seasonal menu to suit all tastes. 

Owned by the Robinson family, who have farmed here for four generations and run the hotel alongside their dedicated team, Headlam Hall specialises in providing the very best of local produce, including from its own kitchen garden.

Sunday Lunch

Sunday lunch at Headlam Hall is something of an institution. An authentic and traditional experience in this fabulous Jacobean country house, guests can enjoy pre-lunch drinks in the relaxing lounges and bar, and an after-lunch stroll around the beautiful gardens if it’s a fine day. 

On offer this Autumn are a combination of traditional Sunday roasts (including Roast Sirloin of Deerness Valley Beef) as well as some more contemporary dishes such as Baked Fillet of North Sea Cod or Wild Mushroom and Asparagus Risotto.

Sunday lunch is served between 12pm and 2.30pm, and the hall has beautiful private dining rooms – including the popular Drawing Room which overlooks the walled garden - available for special occasions.

Autumn Menu

Having been awarded Taste Durham Local Produce and Highest Quality Assured Awards, the kitchen team under Head Chef Austen Shaw enjoys an excellent reputation week-round for producing tasty dishes.

The main Hall is open for lunch from 12pm-2pm and dinner from 6pm-9pm. One new dish expected to be popular this Autumn on the dinner menu is Braised Ox Cheek, potato and vegetable terrine, spinach, wild mushrooms and peppercorn sauce.

Fab Foodie Events

This Autumn, the hotel is also putting on a great range of foodie events. On Friday 25 October, there’s a Bavarian Night in the Brasserie - a themed three-course evening meal in the spa brasserie.

On Friday 15 November do't miss the special Champagne Dinner in conjunction with Drappier Champagne. This special event includes tasting of four Champagnes combined with a delicious 4 course menu.
