Àclèaf, the Michelin-starred restaurant located within historic Boringdon Hall Hotel in Devon, is excited to introduce its latest culinary innovation: a 7-course tasting menu curated by Head Chef Scott Paton, which will also include an optional sparkling wine pairing with each course.
The new tasting menu acts as an evolution of Àclèaf's core four-course format, which remains central to the restaurant's identity since its inception, as the team felt that three courses were too brief to convey their full expression of hospitality—and this new extended menu allows guests to experience a broader showcase of Paton's Michelin-starred cooking. Since being awarded its first Michelin Star in 2023—a distinction Àclèaf has retained each year—the restaurant has quickly become a cornerstone of the Southwest's fine dining scene.
Paton has also recently been nominated for Best Chef at the Food Lifestyle Awards, further cementing his reputation as one of the UK's most thoughtful culinary voices. Head Chef Scott Paton shared his inspiration behind the menu: “At Àclèaf, we've dedicated ourselves to heritage flavours, presented with a restrained, sympathetic style.
“This new tasting menu is the next evolution of that journey. We invite guests to experience a true expression of time and place—through world-class ingredients, hyper-seasonal produce, and our enduring ethos: truth with elegance.”
Set in the intimate, atmospheric setting of a 16th-century manor, Àclèaf's new tasting menu is a carefully curated journey through British provenance, with global technique and sparkling pairings designed to elevate each course. Wines are hand-selected from leading sparkling regions—such as Champagne, Kent, and Rías Baixas—bringing an added dimension to the experience.
