Swinton Park has announced three Alfresco Dining dates for Summer 2010. These events will be held in the recently restored Deerhouse, set in the 200 acres of landscaped parkland that surround the award winning luxury castle hotel.

The deerhouse overlooks the castle, Home Lake and surrounding Yorkshire Dales countryside, and provides a spectacular vantage point in which to enjoy the very best of a traditional English summer’s evening, under the watchful eye of the hotel’s herd of fallow deer.

The event is a candlelit event, with braziers and rugs provided to keep guests warm. The hotel chefs cook and serve prime cuts of locally sourced meat, using barbecue and clay oven, with walled garden salads and breads, followed by a traditional English puddings such as Eton Mess and profiteroles followed by coffee under the stars.

The dates for the events are 11th June, 23rd July and 20th August. Bookings must be made in advance for tables of four or more.
