Samuel’s Restaurant
Samuel’s Restaurant was built by Samuel Cunliffe-Lister in 1880 as part of major works that were carried out at Swinton Park when he bought the estate on retirement from his mill (Manningham Mill) at Bradford. You will see portraits of him on the walls, along with one of his children above the fireplace.
A spacious and airy room, with sweeping views over the gardens and Home Lake, the most distinctive feature is the ornate gold leaf ceiling and enormous mantlepiece.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner is served here throughout the week, with the option of a lighter menu served in the Bar. Children aged 8 and over are welcome to eat from the restaurant menu in Samuel’s.
Breakfast is served from 7.30 until 10.00am, lunch from 12.30 until 2.00pm, and Dinner from 7.00 until 9.30pm.
We strongly recommend that guests reserve tables in Samuel’s for lunch and dinner.
Please note that Samuel’s Restaurant is closed for lunch on Mondays, save for private group bookings.
