Grantley Arms, Grantley: Luxury hotel expands its offering after buying traditional Yorkshire village pub

A luxury hotel in Yorkshire is expanding its offering after taking over a traditional village pub.

The five-star Grantley Hall has recently bought a village pub in the neighbouring village of Grantley, and is set to open it as the Grantley Arms this summer.

The hotel said it plans to have a focus on seasonal dishes and local produce, to showcase the best of traditional pub classics with a twist in a relaxed setting.

Chef Gavin Swift, who is currently the senior sous chef at Grantley Hall, will take on the role of chef patron.

A statement from the hotel also said the interior will reflect that of a traditional village pub, complete with cosy fireplace. An outdoor area will also provide the perfect spot to enjoy the sun and stunning views of the Yorkshire countryside.

Grantley Hall’s managing director, Richard Sykes said: “At Grantley Hall, warm hospitality is at the heart of everything we do – and that same spirit is what makes a truly great local pub.

“Grantley Arms is a proud new chapter for us, and one we’re incredibly excited to share with both our hotel guests and the local community.
