The Labyrinth Restaurant

The Labyrinth is open to both hotel guests and non - resident diners alike. To reserve a table, please contact reception.

The Labyrinth Restaurant is located in the garden room of the old manor house, which still maintains the feel and the ambience of the natural environment outside and far reaching views of the stunning Chew Valley. Looking out you can see a box labyrinth, planted to mark the millennium following in the tradition of formal box parterres in grand houses of the 18th century. A labyrinth is not to be confused with a maze. A maze is a complex planned deceit where a labyrinth is a journey of discovery that leads to an exciting and rewarding experience.

The Labyrinth’s food is uncomplicated yet varied, using fresh, seasonal ingredients. You will notice that we have a full Vegetarian menu. We believe that your choice should not be limited simply because you have different dietary requirements. As all of our food is cooked fresh to order, we are able to adjust our dishes & accommodate any special dietary requirements.

We strive to cook only the finest foods, sourced as locally as possible and prepared here in the kitchen at Winford Manor. As we cook only to order, in busier times there will be a delay. We are sure it will be worth the wait.

The Labyrinth’s aim is for delicious simplicity. The simplest traditional food cooked amazingly and served in abundance in beautifully peaceful surroundings. Have a look through the sample menu below and see some of the delights on offer. We intend to make changes to the menu on a regular basis, so there may be some variations to the published menu.

Thank you for your support and we hope that you join us soon for a meal.
