This summer, five-star North Yorkshire hotel, Grantley Hall, will extend its culinary offering with the launch of Grantley Arms, a picturesque country pub that it recently purchased in the heart of the neighbouring village of Grantley.
With a focus on seasonal dishes, regional produce and warm Yorkshire hospitality, Grantley Arms will offer both hotel guests and locals a relaxed yet refined setting in which to enjoy the very best of Yorkshire’s local flavours. The pub is located just a two-minute drive from Grantley Hall or a picturesque country walk away.
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 from across the region. Whether a light lunch or indulgent evening meal, all dishes will be a celebration of Yorkshire’s natural bounty.
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 cosy fireplace. Outside, the terrace will provide a tranquil spot to unwind with a drink in the sunshine, complemented by the beautiful views of the surrounding Yorkshire countryside. With inviting spaces both indoors and out, Grantley Arms will offer the perfect setting year-round – from sun-soaked summer lunches to fireside dinners in winter and cooler summer evenings.
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.”
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.”
Grantley Arms will open in summer 2025; exact dates and opening times to be confirmed.
