Brockencote Hall Hotel was served the accolade at the Midlands Food Drink & Hospitality Awards, which is now in its seventh year and celebrates hospitality businesses from across the region in 29 categories.Brockencote Hall Hotel fought off competition from six other venues to take home the silverware.The venue’s other recent achievements, including The Chaddesley Restaurant retaining its 3 AA Rosette rating, contributed to the venue’s award success – as did the kitchen team’s approach to sourcing ingredients locally and sustainably for evolving seasonal menus, led by long-serving head chef Tim Jenkins.The opening of Brockencote Lodge in 2023 – a former on-site gatehouse that has been transformed into a property with three luxurious bedrooms – was also listed as a key achievement over the past year.The award win at the Midlands Food Drink & Hospitality Awards comes after the venue was recently named as a regional winner and national finalist at The Wedding Industry Awards 2024.
Jack Hartshorne, general manager at Brockencote Hall Hotel, said: “This recent award win underlines the hard work of the whole team – from our fine dining offering, through to front-of-house and our interior design experts.
“We pride ourselves on our locally sourced seasonal menu, which tastes as fine as the panoramic rural views that are available from our Chaddesley Restaurant, and we are blessed to have a talented head chef in the form of Tim Jenkins who has been nurturing the development of our kitchen team for over a decade.
“The recent launch of a special Saturday-only menu to put a spin on traditional afternoon tea with elevated open-faced sandwiches and refined patisserie has been proving a hit with guests, and it is inventive approaches like this – along with our high standards – which help to set us apart for couples and families.
“The Brockencote Lodge is also proving to be a great asset for us – especially for bridal parties – and these luxury facilities, combined with top class food, bodes well for our long-term growth.”
