About

Both dining experiences at The Lygon Arms, a 600-year-old coaching inn nestled in picturesque Broadway, have just gone up a gear fuelled by a new partnership with Chef James Martin. GRILL unveiling in February 2023 and TAVERN opening in March 2023 are set to become two of the most sought-after restaurants in the Cotswolds. Both venues follow in the footsteps of James Martin’s phenomenal success at The Lygon Arms’ sister hotel in Hampshire, Chewton Glen, where James and his talented brigade of chefs developed a stand-out menu at The Kitchen Restaurant & Cookery School following its launch in 2017. James Martin said: "This gorgeous rice recipe from José Pizarro is a tasty one pot dish with monkfish and Carabineros. Carabineros are a large deep-sea prawn species that is jumbo sized and red in colour." Also on offer will be dry-aged longhorn beef wellington, braised king oyster mushrooms, and baked Shetland cod. Straight off the grill, guests will be able to choose ‘Market Fish of the Day – Your Way’, plus Ribeye, Sirloin or Fillet Steak with a selection of sauces and truffled jus. Additional main dishes will consist of Cotswolds Lamb Shank; Middle White Pork Chop with All Butter Mash, Apple Sauce, Gravy and Roasted Hispi Cabbage; and Roasted Curry Cauliflower with Mung Bean Dhal. The menu will feature options including The Lygon sausage Roll, scotch eggs, pork pies, shepherd’s pie, and baked aubergine.

The hotel said its new dining experiences with the ITV chef aims to make Lygon Arms known for having "the most sought-after restaurants in the Cotswolds". Martin said the venues were also set to include hosted dinners with a variety of his celebrity chef pals in coming months. Now part of the Iconic Luxury Hotel collection, the hotel has geared up its dining operations, making an enormous publicity splash by partnering with Chef James Martin. GRILL, now one of the most sought-after restaurants in the Cotswolds, brings you a stand-out menu brimming with signature dishes from James and his talented brigade of chefs such as Thai-Spiced Cornish Crab Risotto; Burnt Aubergine, Vegan Ricotta, Harissa, Bulgar Wheat and Soft Herbs; and Laverstoke Buffaloumi with Confit Roscoff Onion, Chilli Jam and Treviso.
