FOOD GLORIOUS FOOD: TONKA BEAN RECIPE BY FISHMORE HALL

WE ASKED HEAD CHEF OF FISHMORE HALL, JOE GOULD, TO CREATE A UNIQUE RECIPE THAT FEATURES ONE OF OUR GINS AND LIQUEURS – WE THINK THE OUTCOME IS PRETTY SPECIAL.

Until October 2007, Fishmore Hall was virtually derelict but, the incredible team there have, over the past 13 years,  transformed its splendid faded glory into something really special.

If you haven’t visited this stunning hotel and spa yet, the views alone make it worth it, with countryside stretching out from every window, and the towers of Ludlow Castle peeping up from behind the trees. Fishmore Hall boasts luxurious rooms, indulgent bathrooms, and a menu that makes the very best of this very foodie part of the UK.
