With stunning views over Linthwaite’s immaculately landscaped gardens, HenRock will showcase natural, perfectly seasonal ingredients in a relaxed and elegant setting. The restaurant is named after Hen Holme (a rocky outcrop protruding from Windermere that is often visible from the terrace of Linthwaite House).
HenRock’s kitchen team will be led by Head Chef Brian Limoges, who joins Simon from San Francisco after working in renowned restaurants such as Quince, Birdsong and Atelier Crenn. Working together, they will utilise produce from Simon’s own farm, Our Farm, located less than a 30-minute drive from Linthwaite House. .
Linthwaite House occupies a majestic site, nestled on a gentle rise with exceptional views of Windermere, and set in hilltop gardens and woodland grounds. The idyllic private tarn (small lake) lies in a fold of the higher ground to one side of the hotel, where there are original old stone walls and a patch of mixed woodland.
