SUMMER FLAVOURS

Yorkshire’s Harvest

Served in The Rise, our Sunday Lunch celebrates the best of local produce, done the Yorkshire way with a summer twist.

First Sunday of every month

Legend tells of a hidden carriage that once arrived at midnight, carrying wizards of The Grand House who gathered in the hotel’s vaults to share enchanted brews and cakes. Now, that long-lost tradition stirs again, welcoming all, young and old, to a Wizarding Afternoon Tea.

Sub Rosa, our Pan-Asian restaurant nestled within the historic spa vaults, is now open to all.

Join us for lunch and discover our new Bento Box, a carefully curated selection of Pan-Asian favourites

The Seasons Brightest Flavours

Strawberries | Garforth | 20.7 miles

Featured in our much-loved Pavlova, these strawberries are grown by Annabel’s Deliciously British, a family-run producer renowned for exceptional quality. Having worked closely with Annabel’s for many years, our chefs know they’re getting the very best of the season in every delivery.

Lamb Shank | Ripon | 32 miles

The Grand’s meat comes from R&J, a Yorkshire butcher known for championing full traceability and working closely with trusted regional farms. Their focus on traditional butchery and exceptional welfare standards ensures every cut is deeply flavourful and responsibly sourced from the surrounding countryside.

Grilled Spilman’s Asparagus | Thirsk | 20 miles

Often overlooked, asparagus is at its best when kept beautifully simple.

We source ours from Spilman’s, just a short distance away, where it’s harvested at peak freshness. Yorkshire’s climate and rich soils produce spears with exceptional bite, sweetness, and depth of flavour, making it some of the finest in the country.

On the rooftop of Roman House and visible from the fifth floor, our four apiaries are home to two-four thriving colonies of Apis Mellifera (Western honey bees), with each hive housing up to 60,000 bees.

The honey produced by our Grand Hives is used throughout our food and beverage offering, adding a truly local touch to a selection of dishes, desserts, and cocktails.

Our hives are also twinned with beehives on Kome Island, Tanzania, through the Bees Abroad programme, supporting sustainable beekeeping initiatives and helping communities around the world thrive alongside their pollinators.

DEREK SCAIFE – HEAD SOMMELIER

Sommelier’s summer wine picks

Derek, Head Sommelier at The Grand, 39th in the Top 100 Sommeliers by Sommelier Edit, works closely with our chefs to pair dishes with the flavours of the season. For summer, he has selected two wines, currently matched with dishes across The Grand’s menus, for you to try for this summer season.

Muré, Pierres Sèches Pinot Gris
Alsace, France | 2023

Aromatic and expressive, this classic Pinot Gris from Alsace brings ripe pear, apricot and gentle spice with a fresh mineral finish. Silky and balanced, it works beautifully with lightly spiced dishes, especially those kissed by the grill.
At Legacy, Derek has paired this wine with our tandoori-spiced monkfish tail, where its soft richness lifts the vadouvan spice and complements the smoky, savoury cassoulet base.

Johann Donabaum Federspiel Riesling
Wachau,
Austria | 2025

A crisp, dry expression of Riesling with bright lime, subtle pepper and clean acidity. Light in alcohol and refreshingly structured, it is ideal for high-heat grilling and delicate smoky flavours.
Derek has paired this with our konro-grilled sea bass, where its freshness cuts through the richness of the champagne and cauliflower, while enhancing the gentle smokiness from the grill.
