As the night draw in, the heating switches on, the fires get lit and the jumpers come out, it's time to change and reflect the seasons with our new menu.

This year's autumn/winter menu promises the hearty, cosy comforts of the Peak District's best produce, coupled with the culinary talent of group executive chef, Adrian Gagea and new head chef, Alex Jones who are both driving the team to make each seasonal menu better and better.

In this round-up we'll showcase some of the new, exciting and must-try dishes for you to sample this season.
