Murrays
“Plush hotel dining near the home of motor racing.” - AA Inspector
WHITTLEBURY, NORTHAMPTONSHIRE
Our Inspector's view
Murrays is the top dining spot at Whittlebury Hall, a plush neo-Georgian hotel with a high-end spa and serious golfing. While the slick front-of-house team help diners relax in the slow lane at this venue near Silverstone race track, the kitchen hits top gear with modern British cooking. A starter of Devonshire brown crab, Worcestershire apples and avocado grabs the attention with its depth of flavour and textures, while Blackface lamb, artichoke, cabbage and hedgerow blackberries appears at the main course stage. For dessert, sticky toffee pudding soufflé, caramel sauce and Madagascar vanilla is a winner.

About the area
Discover Northamptonshire
Northamptonshire is a mainly rural county of gentle beauty, with farmland, forest and great country estates. Rivers, canals and meadows are all part of the tranquil scene, providing a haven for wildlife.
This is a great area for walking, touring and exploring villages of stone and thatch. There are also some impressive Saxon churches at Brixworth and Earls Barton. Northampton is the county town, and along with Kettering, has long been associated with the production of footwear. Kettering was the second largest town until it was overtaken by the rapid development of Corby as a major centre of the steel industry.
Jane Austen’s Mansfield Park is set in Northamptonshire, although it seems that Austen never actually visited the county. Other famous connections include the poet John Dryden (1631-1700) who was born in the tiny village of Aldwincle; King Richard III (1452-1485) born at Fotheringhay Castle; and American revolutionaries George Washington (1732-1799), whose family came from Sulgrave Manor, and Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) whose father was born in another tiny Northamptonshire village called Ecton.
