The Rise, York – Vibrant All-Day Dining

The Rise has opened at The Grand Hotel & Spa York, offering diners a vibrant all-day dining destination. Award-winning chef Craig Atchinson has created a rotating modern menu boasting the best seasonal and ethically-sourced ingredients, including a selection of small plates such as Marinated artichoke, sun blushed tomatoes, and Yorkshire Fettle salad, Leven Farm confit duck leg, Yorkshire chorizo, and butter bean ragout, Garlic and mustard grilled beef skewers with shitake ketchup, using 6oz hanger steak and Charred octopus, fennel salad, capers, aioli.

The Rise also serves larger plates for the hungrier diner, as well as a junior menu, sweet plates and cheeses, plus a breakfast offering including buffet and plated options, and a modern take on the classic Afternoon Tea. Diners can expect local beers and ales, a hand-selected wine selection, signature cocktails – including the rum-laden Ghosts of York and a Yorkshire Julep – plus live music on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

Inspired by the Edwardian home of The Grand Hotel & Spa, York, The Rise aims to transport guests to a time gone by. The decor pays homage to the building’s history including a pressed tin ceiling, dark stained oak panelling, and – as a nod to the North Eastern Railway, the building’s original 1906 resident – a locomotive-inspired black steel bar front, emulating the comfort and style of First Class train travel in the early 1900s. The launch of The Rise will be followed later this year by the addition of a new accommodation wing and the refurbishment of Hudson’s fine dining restaurant.
