The Walled Garden restaurant, Beningbrough Hall, Yorkshire 

We love local food, that’s why the walled garden at Beningbrough is so important to us. Throughout the spring we harvest a wide variety of fresh Yorkshire produce which we use in our soups, quiches, light meals and main courses, reducing our food miles to literally metres.
