Shaun Rankin at Grantley Hall

Grantley Hall, Ripon - UNITED KINGDOM

Originally from Yorkshire, Shaun Rankin honed his skills at The Mayfair Hotel before his love of the sea then took him to the Channel Islands where he spent the majority of his career residing in Jersey.

Coming back to his Yorkshire roots, Shaun joined the team at Grantley Hall in 2017; a beautifully restored Grade II* listed Palladian mansion in the heart of the North Yorkshire countryside and the home to Shaun’s eponymous MICHELIN-Starred fine dining restaurant, Shaun Rankin at Grantley Hall. The restaurant showcases locally grown and sourced ingredients, taking advantage of the herbs and vegetables grown in the hotel’s very own Kitchen Garden. Using only the best raw ingredients from hand-picked suppliers within a 30-mile radius, the restaurant offers quality meat from nearby farms, specialty cheeses from across the county and fresh seafood from the nearby Yorkshire coast.

Shaun has created the Taste of Home menu which takes inspiration from his past and his childhood memories growing up in Yorkshire. Taste of Home was developed around coming back home to Yorkshire but also a celebration of the fantastic ingredients that the county has to offer – from the most amazing seafood on the Yorkshire coast, to Yorkshire forced rhubarb. Each dish is based around the flavours of the ingredients, taking a traditional or nostalgic dish and using the finest ingredients with new techniques to elevate the dish.

Patisserie chef Yann Brys also whisks you away to far-off places with his dessert creations in-fused with the flavors of exotic continents bathed in light. In the upper part of the restaurant, Sinner offers for lunch this cuisine that is joyful and spontaneous. It’s a mysterious, electric place with a renewed sense of celebration sheltered from prying eyes.

Let the expert Skyline bartenders guide you in choosing the cocktail that represents you the most- ranging from a selection of 21 signature cocktails forming part of the newly renovated Skyline Signature Cocktail Menu. The Menu is a tribute to the art of creating Signature Cocktails and hints at the art world are given by the unique palette-shaped menu and by the colour scale that dominates the order in which cocktails are presented.

Each creation is defined by a dominant feature: from the evocative “stardust” to the “firm” Smokerita, which is one of Gabriele’s first creations since he arrived at Skyline, and also one of his favourites. Gabriele Cusimano and his team of bartenders invite you to join them at Skyline Rooftop Bar for some quality time in good company.
