Richard Palmer, Managing Director of Estate Escapes by The Devonshire Group, comments: "Under the helm of our talented Executive Chef Adam Harper, we have endeavoured to celebrate the very best of Peak District produce at The Cavendish so we are thrilled to be recognised with this prestigious award. This is a testament to Adam and his team’s hard work and dedication in sourcing local artisan suppliers and working closely with the gardeners and farmers at Chatsworth Estate to create innovative and imaginative dishes.”
Following a total refurbishment, The Cavendish, which is set on Chatsworth Estate, reopened its doors in summer 2024. The hotel’s food offering at its two restaurants, The Gallery and The Garden Room, is overseen by Executive Chef Adam Harper who is renowned for his commitment to food sustainability, curating menus that emphasise the best of local produce, such as Chatsworth beef nose-to-tail.
