Voted for by culinary professionals, The Ryder Grill, The Belfry’s signature restaurant, was crowned the number one Hotel restaurant in England for its commitment to dining excellence. 

Head chef, Javier Dominguez Santos (pictured), stated that he is very proud of his a la carte menu, where dishes have been curated from the highest quality ingredients. Trained by the renowned Roux brothers, Javier creates incredibly diverse and exciting dishes, which are enjoyed by many guests, clients and VIPs.
