The Langley Hotel, Buckinghamshire, has unveiled its gastronomic vision with the announcement of new flagship restaurant, Cedar.
Occupying a grand and bright space within the historic Main House, offering expansive views over the grounds and serpentine lake, Cedar also boasts a vast adjoining terrace for al fresco dining.
The hotel’s principal restaurant, Cedar will focus on fresh flavours for all-day dining, using local and seasonal British produce. It will be overseen by head chef Marco Ardemagni and head pastry chef Francesco Martella, who join the opening team from roles at Michelin-starred outlets including La Posta Vecchia and Il Pellicano.
Offering a choice of lighter small plates, primi and larger mains, all dishes are designed for sharing, creating a relaxed and informal dining atmosphere. The chef plans to create an extensive organic kitchen garden over time, while produce will be sourced primarily from local home counties producers, and larder ingredients including pasta, pickles, jams and bakery products will be created in-house. Dishes will be cooked simply to allow ingredients to shine, with larger cuts of meat grilled to perfection in the restaurant’s Josper grill.
Cedar will offer a variety of showstopper sharing dishes, including grilled rib steak with peppercorn sauce and lemon-miso charred stone bass with béarnaise. Fresh, flavourful mains will include red snapper and mussels in broth, with croutons and seaweed butter, and lamb chop and shoulder with smoked aubergine, broad beans and pecorino romano.
Guests with a sweet tooth will not be disappointed by the inventive and playful dessert options. Delectable desserts will include millefeuille with macadamia mousse, rhubarb and dill compote; pistachio parfait with white and dark chocolate mousse and mint meringue, and peanut and chocolate cake with sesame and miso cream and dark chocolate shards. Recalling the famed dessert trolleys of grand dame hotels, Cedar will also offer a nostalgic selection of delicious miniature patisserie, mignardises and pralines from a roving dessert trolley.
Don’t mind if we do!
