Simon Crannage, the Executive Chef at Swinton Park, has launched two new Tasting Menus at Samuel's Restaurant at Swinton Park. This coincides with the start of the 10th birthday celebrations for Swinton Park which will be running throughout 2011.

With 3 AA Rosettes and listings in Hardens and The Good Food Guide, Simon Crannage already has an established reputation for his fine dining menus.  2011 sees the launch of his Signature and Deluxe Tasting Menus which reflect on the further development of his cuisine, combining sophistication with simplicity.

"My two new Tasting Menus give me the opportunity to showcase our unique blend of complex taste with the exquisite fresh quality ingredients that I am lucky enough to be able to source from the hotel's walled garden and surrounding estate." comments Simon Crannage.

The Signature Tasting Menu is seven courses and costs £60, and the Deluxe Tasting Menu is ten courses and costs £70 (both include coffee and petit fours). Sample dishes would include :

White Truffle Ice

Madeira Gel, Cracked Hazelnuts

Oak Smoked Eel

Garden Artichokes, Apple Textures, Roasted Chicken
