Fine Dining

The Samling has been named the ‘Best Dining Hotel in the World’ at the annual Boutique Hotel Awards. Expert judges said that the hotel had “Levels of cuisine creativity and service that superseded all other hotels inspected” which included those as far afield as Thailand.

The kitchen is headed up by the prodigiously talented Ian Swainson.  Ian has joined the hotel with a reputation as one of the most exciting young chefs in the industry after Head Chef roles at the Michelin starred L'Ortolan and La Becasse restaurants.

Last year Ian won the regional final of ITV Britain's Best Dish: The Chefs with his dessert of sloe gin crème brulee served with damson ice cream wowing the expert panel of judges.
