The Charrington Restaurant

Dining at Dovecliff Hall

The Charrington is the restaurant of Dovecliff Hall — modern British dining beneath the boughs of our 400-year-old cedar tree, within an independent Georgian country house. Open to everyone, not just hotel guests.

The Experience

An Independent Country House Restaurant, Open to All

Dining at Dovecliff feels like being invited to dinner in a country house: linen, candlelight, a view of the gardens and cooking that lets good ingredients speak for themselves. Elegant, but never stiff.

As an independent manor house — not a chain — every detail is our own. The Charrington celebrates Staffordshire's finest producers, with menus inspired by the land around us and served with warmth beneath the timeless beauty of our 400-year-old cedar tree.

Many of our regulars live in Burton on Trent, Stretton and the villages around — and most tell us the same thing on their first visit: they had no idea this was here.
