Moor Hall, Aughton, Lancashire, England ***

This is our third visit to Moor Hall, but our first when the garden is producing as our previous visits have been in winter. Also our first since they gained their third Michelin star.

As it's summer, the main part of the meal was proceeded by a guided tour around the garden, a nice touch, followed by the kitchen tour and a chance to meet Chef Mark Birchall.

As always, the experience is impeccable. I love the service here: polite without being stuffy, attentive without being over-bearing, knowledgable, and friendly. The produce from the garden really shines, and it is clear that they are justifiably proud of it.

I would add more photos of the petits fours, after-dinner chocolates, and breakfast, but I've hit the reddit limit.

We stayed over in the rooms there, so afternoon tea was included, plus breakfast the next day. Excellent from first to last.
