New restaurant & bar at The Grand Hotel & Spa, York launches


The Rise, the latest venture from The Grand Hotel & Spa, York, has just opened offering a vibrant all-day dining destination.

Award-winning chef Craig Atchinson has created a modern menu boasting the best seasonal and ethically-sourced ingredients, including a selection of small plates such as:

· Marinated artichoke, sun blushed tomatoes & Yorkshire Fettle salad
· Leven Farm confit duck leg, Yorkshire chorizo & butter bean ragout
· Garlic & mustard grilled beef skewers with shitake ketchup, using 6oz hanger steak
· Charred octopus, fennel salad, capers, aioli

The Rise will also be serving larger plates for the hungrier diner, as well as a junior menu, sweet plates and cheeses, plus a breakfast offering including buffet and plated options, and a modern take on the classic Afternoon Tea.

Diners can expect local beers and ales, a hand-selected wine selection, signature cocktails – including the rum-laden Ghosts of York and a Yorkshire Julep – plus live music on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

Philip Bolson, General Manager of The Grand Hotel & Spa, York said, “We are delighted to welcome hotel guests, York residents, and visiting tourists to The Rise. We’re certain that our offering of great food, exceptional service, and live music is the perfect addition to our city’s range of dining options.

“It is an incredibly exciting time for those of us working here in the hotel amid our expansion and development.”

The launch of The Rise will be followed later this year by the addition of The Grand Hotel & Spa, York’s new accommodation wing and the refurbishment of Hudson’s fine dining restaurant.

The Grand Hotel & Spa, York, is the only five-star hotel in Yorkshire as designed by the AA’s national star ratings scheme, the Hotel Quality Standards.
