Your favourite local produce:

What is your favourite dish?
Seasonal dishes from our home grown and local
game such as ‘pheasant casserole cooked in cider
and calvados brandy with caramelised apples’ ,
traditionally cooked ‘grouse with hedgerow jus’ or
tagine of Weardale lamb.
What is the inspiration behind your business?
We have a passion for good food and people, and the
great panoramic view around us is also very inspiring.
The baronial hall here lends itself to people sharing a
sociable eating experience, but it is also a lovely cosy
setting for couples and smaller parties. Afternoon teas
in our garden pod are recommended to soak in the
stunning view of the dales.
The two main industries - mining and farming - have
historically shaped the local cultural and physical landscape.
In the days when mining was still active, it was common for
the workers to supplement their sustenance with agricultural
activities. The vast swathes of beautiful countryside are still
punctuated with small farm buildings now inhabited by a new
generation of farmers producing excellent food.

Tell us about Horsley Hall
It is an elegant small 17th century manor house located
on the edges of what once was the hunting ground
of the Prince Bishops of Durham, where the famous
‘Great Chases’ were held. Our food can be described as
English with a French bias.
Game and venison are not the only wild food
caught in this area. Wild salmon, sea and
brown trout are to be found in the River
Wear. The river is rated as one of the best
fishing waters in England.
Tell us about Chatterbox Cafe
We are a super-friendly cafe in the picturesque village
of St John’s Chapel. We also host the Upper Weardale
Visitor Information Point to put you ‘in the know’
about the best riverside walks and things to do in the
event that the sun isn’t shining. Here you will find the
biggest and best scones along with Weardale art and
craft, and bike hire. The stunning Derwent Reservoir is a managed fishery. It
offers fantastic stocked rainbow and wild brown trout fishing.
If you are new to fishing, we recommend that you have a go at
their ‘Try to fish days’ - ideal for beginners!
