After 11 months of intensive renovations, Michelin-starred restaurant and country-house hotel Northcote has unveiled four additional guestrooms and a refurbished restaurant.
Headed up by chef patron Nigel Haworth and business partner Craig Bancroft, the hotel has been expanded with the addition of four rooms: luxuriously appointed, each comes with its own distinct colour palette – from the grey-and-green tones of deluxe Room 16 to the soft cream and taupe of superior 19. All come with king-size beds and fine thread-count sheets, together with premium bathrooms that feature rain showers and granite vanity tops.
The restaurant
The restaurant has also undergone renovation works. Complete with sweeping entrance, the new dining room has been designed by Jill Holst and Jackie Dent of Ward Robinson – long-term designer-of-choice for Northcote. The restaurant can now accommodate 68 diners and cater for additional guests staying in the new rooms. Features include a custom-made chandelier – made from steel and glass icicles and measuring almost one-and-a-half metres in width – deep banquette seating and walls clad in grey silk.
Chef’s Table
To match the restaurant is a new state-of-the-art kitchen and Chef’s Table. Bookable for groups of eight, diners can enjoy the theatre of the Michelin-starred kitchen through a sliding glass partition. Exclusive use of an adjoining Champagne Courtyard – also new – comes as part of the package, together with a dedicated front-of-house team and sommelier.
The recent refurbishment follows on from the launch of the Cookery School in March and a new Staff Area complete with lounge – fitted with TV, study stations and a food and wine reference library – and canteen for complimentary staff meals.
