Luxury Ripon hotel Grantley Hall has revealed plans to open its own country pub.
The Grantley Arms is set to launch in the neighbouring village of Grantley this summer.
The new pub, a 2-minute walk from Grantley Hall, will be a “relaxed yet refined dining and drinking destination.”
At the helm of the operation will be Chef Gavin Swift, currently the Senior Sous Chef at Grantley Hall, who will take on the role of Chef Patron.
The menu will showcase delicious seasonal dishes with a twist on classic pub favourites, all crafted using the finest local ingredients.
Grantley Hall’s Managing Director, Richard Sykes said:
“At Grantley Hall, warm hospitality is at the heart of everything we do – and that same spirit is what makes a truly great local pub.
"Grantley Arms is a proud new chapter for us, and one we’re incredibly excited to share with both our hotel guests and the local community.
"Whether it’s a leisurely lunch before check-in or a relaxed farewell meal after a stay, we see the pub as a natural extension of the Grantley experience – a place where quality, comfort and Yorkshire charm come together.”
Inside, the interior will offer a "sophisticated yet laid back setting" that reflects the timeless character of a traditional village pub.
The space will feature "elegant touches and comfortable corners," including seating by the fireplace.
Outside, the terrace will provide a "tranquil spot" to unwind with a drink in the sunshine, complemented by the views of the surrounding Yorkshire countryside.
On his appointment as Chef Patron, Gavin Swift said:
“It’s a real honour to be appointed Chef Patron of Grantley Arms. Having been part of the Grantley Hall team for several years, I’m proud to take everything we stand for – exceptional quality, local ingredients, and genuine Yorkshire hospitality – into a relaxed, countryside setting.
"The pub is a chance to celebrate great food in a way that feels approachable and familiar, while still upholding the high standards our guests know and love.”
