The Tykes Restaurant in Sandburn Hall between Malton and York has also unveiled a new menu and a greener, greener kitchen featuring 1,000 solar panels.
The Tykes is part of the 1,000-acre Sandburn Hall Estate, which includes the 40-bedroom Sandburn Hall Hotel, Sandburn Hall Golf Club and Grand Function Room.
Director James Hogg said: “Since opening Tykes in 2005, it has established itself as one of the most popular restaurants in the York area and is loved by locals, residents and visitors.
“This restaurant has been successful for the last 20 years and has a strong and loyal customer base. The 20th anniversary is like a great opportunity to breathe new life and arrange it more along the hotel's style and decorations. I felt it. We are delighted that we were able to achieve this while retaining the original identity and characteristics of Tyk, which everyone knows and loves.”
The restaurant space redesign combines the traditional charm of Sandburn Hall's original Oakburn character with a contemporary touch, and by award-winning interior designer Rachel McClain, the complete set of restaurant dining and bar areas in Tykes Includes renovations.
Rachel said: “The Tykes renovations aim to harmonize the restaurant with hotel extensions by creating a frank, relaxed atmosphere.
“The restaurant is given a focus with glass partitions and sliding doors and an expanded kitchen with a redesigned serving counter.”
The redesign is a traditional modern English dish featuring Tykes head chef Mark Hudson, featuring breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, La Carte in the evening, Sunday menu and a six-coast chef tasting menu. It comes when we announce a new menu of seasonal Yorkshire ingredients.
The new a la carte menu dishes include starters such as the game's Terrin and Artichoke & Wild Mushroom Philo Tart. Duck breast with fondant potatoes, beetroot, kale, blackberry and red wine puree, or lemon and dilgunocchi, kudette, pickled celeryac and cream freyche. and desserts such as Afigato, which includes a shot of pecan and dark chocolate torte, chocolate ganache, caramel chew, pecan praline or espresso, and a shot of homemade biscotti.
Another great feature of the New-look Tykes restaurant is its more environmentally friendly kitchen, including a switch from gas appliances such as ovens and hobs to all new appliances. They feature a new array of 1,000 solar panels in the property, producing approximately 500,000 kWh of electricity, which is also used in hotels and function rooms.
“We've been working hard to get the better of our customers,” said David Holmes, hotel finance director. “Kitchen and solar projects will significantly reduce Sandburn Hall's carbon footprint, as gas usage is less and a significant proportion of electricity usage is generated by solar panels.”
This scheme, which ensures that all existing wildlife habitats are preserved, involves the installation of 1MW of battery storage, allowing immediate storage and use of power generation that is not immediately used.
