Meet Our Local Producers

Creativity is in perpetual motion in the Hambleton kitchen. Aaron, Charlie and James write the daily menus between 7am and midday depending on the unique combination of the freshest ingredients that arrive that morning. The chefs’ foragers and farmers appear at the kitchen door in person offering incredible local ingredients from blewits and puffballs to salsify, apples or Jerusalem artichokes, quince or crab apples, sea vegetables or zander, woodcock or teal.

The chefs will unite these new finds with existing combinations to create recipe evolutions each day. Dishes such as breast of Merrifield duck with watermelon, feta and endive, grouse with blackberry sauce and traditional accompaniments, roast mallard with corn and a pie of its own leg meat, roast pheasant with Jerusalem artichoke and truffle, hare wellington with root vegetables and a prune and Armagnac sauce.

Hambleton’s long standing suppliers save their best for us as we have facilitated their business, helped them to expand and with whom they have grown together over the decades. Some grow some ingredients only for Hambleton, such is the loyalty and friendship they have nurtured over the years.

“Aaron has created and maintained very special relationships with independent growers and producers for three decades and developed a network around Hambleton Hall that makes the restaurant completely unique in the world.”

Special Mentions

One of Hambleton’s special suppliers is a breeder of rare-breed pigs and cattle, one of the few farms in the UK to rear woolly Mangalista pigs who are well known for producing exceptional bacon and very tasty meat. The pigs are kept in the wooded areas of the Chater Valley and have futuristic-looking domed accommodation. You will find this delicious Mangalista pork served with braised fennel and crackling in Hambleton’s Gourmet Corner, to accompany the Menu of the Day at either lunch or dinner.

AP with Gwylem

Alex and Gwilym started Launde Farm Foods in 2008 as a means to supply ethically reared lamb with outstanding flavour to friends and family. Members of the Red Tractor accreditation scheme demonstrates that their farming methods are best in class and they grass feed all year until the ewes need extra calories for lambing, when they feed them a local bean crop instead of imported soya. You will find this delicious lamb served with pickled aubergine, slow-cooked lamb belly and mint caviar.

Katie Machin poached free range egg with summer truffle chanterelle mushrooms and pickled caulifower

Windy Ridge Farm in Melton Mowbray produces all the eggs that the Hambleton team use in their cooking. Farmer Katie Machin chose mobile hen houses which she moves every few weeks to provide fresh grass for the hens.

Our appreciation for Amanda and David Wheatley is Our appreciation for Amanda and David Wheatley is fulsome today, as they praise our staff for crafting their memorable stay with us in April. Amanda and David, your kind words have been shared with the team who are grateful for the recognition. "We have just arrived home from a 2 night stay at Hambleton. We have to say it has been one of our best visits. This is mainly due to how well Rosh looked after us. He is always so cheerful, and has a great rapport with the guests. It was good to see Tony again, again so cheerful and smiley. The atmosphere in the dining room was very happy and lovely to experience, especially after Covid!!! The young waiters were excellent to. The experience we had in the bar was also exceptional. Theo made some great cocktails, a very personable young man. We realise he has his career plans ahead of him, so will leave at some point, but he was clearly well trained and had a great interest in the hospitality trade. Dennis, again he was very cheerful, and went out of his way to provide exceptional service. He undertakes ‘plumping’ the cushions with great enthusiasm! A final thank you to the receptionist who checked us in, and also showed us the Croquet Pavilion. She was very polite and extremely helpful. A further note is about the food. It was exceptional, the presentation and the flavours. Hambleton Hall maintains a consistent high standard. David was blown away by the crab starter and ended up having it both nights. As always Dominic helped us choose some great wines."
Today, for the 7th consecutive year, Hambleton Hal Today, for the 7th consecutive year, Hambleton Hall and Relais & Châteaux hotels around the world raised awareness of sustainable seafood for World Oceans Day, a campaign in partnership with Ethic Ocean and in alliance with the United Nations and Oceanic Global. Relais & Châteaux has been partners with Ethic Ocean since 2009, when Relais & Châteaux members signed a pledge at the Biarritz Rendez-Vous to stop serving bluefin tuna on their menus. The UN’s theme this year is “Revitalisation: Collective Action for the Ocean,” which raises awareness of the need to work together to create a new balance with the ocean that no longer depletes its bounty but instead restores its vibrancy and brings it new life. To amplify this theme, the Relais & Châteaux network is celebrating through the culinary medium of seaweed – a plant that is recognised for having a multitude of revitalising, regenerative properties. More than a superfood, algae is a marvel able to act as a carbon sink, depollute estuaries, decrease ocean acidification, fight coastal erosion, provide habitat for ecosystems of great biodiversity, and even create sustainable aquaculture jobs for restaurants to support.
