A
s the weather turns and the season changes we all crave that little extra comfort. There can be no greater comfort for us Brits than to enjoy a traditional Sunday lunch with all the trimmings with the family! And the offering at Beechfield House Hotel in Beanacre, near Melksham, is very fine indeed. Beechfield House Hotel has four relaxed, stylish and comfortable dining rooms to choose from, and following a recent refurbishment, these are all decorated in deep tones for an intimate, cosy feel. The Sunday lunch menu is served weekly from 12noon to 2pm. The dishes have been carefully created The Library
by Head Chef Joe Donson, using local suppliers and homegrown vegetables from their own kitchen garden. The menu is kept seasonal, so in the autumn you can expect delicious squashes and root vegetables to appear throughout the menu alongside sirloins of beef, loins of pork and Gravelax salmon. All main courses are served with Yorkshire puddings and delicious roast potatoes as well as those delicious homegrown veg. Special dietary needs are of course catered for too. Away from Sunday lunches, the hotel’s restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner Wednesday to Sunday. Their bar is a great place to relax for drinks, afternoon tea or for an after-dinner nightcap. Their afternoon teas, prepared by the hotel’s pastry chef,
