Belle Epoque

For over forty years we have only bought the highest quality ingredients and produce from people we know and trust. We buy as much as we can from local farmers and small artisan producers.

All our meat is raised and grazed in Cheshire, from certified farms and hung for a minimum of 21 days. We also grow our own organic garlic and herbs on site for use exclusively in our kitchens.

It is said by many that the towns name derives from the Danish King Canute who supposedly forded the River Lily in 1016. The name 'Canutesford' appears in the Domesday Book (1086), and many names of Danish origin are still found in the town today. In 1292 the town was granted its first charter, and its central location helped it to become known as the 'Capital' of Mid Cheshire. In 1955 Knutsford received its own Armorial Bearings featuring the motto 'Respice, Aspice, Prospice' (look to the past, the present and the future).
