“Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine and at last you create what you will.”- George Bernard Shaw

Set in five acres of beautiful gardens filled with beetroots and turnips and step-over apple trees, Moor Hall is located in Aughton, West Lancashire – a group of buildings clustered around a glistening lake.

Chef Patron Mark Birchall creates exceptionally skilful and original menus inspired by the land that surrounds us and the beautiful, fresh produce grown in our gardens.

Born in Lancashire, Mark is deeply connected to this area and always champions its many producers, farmers and artisans.

Field Notes

Lancashire is a land of abundance. Our gardens teem with fruit and vegetables and flowers and herbs. In season here you might eat peas straight out of the pod, so fresh all they need is a touch of salt and nasturtium oil. What we don’t grow we seek out from the amazing produce tended and nurtured by local farmers and artisans.

On site we’re also busy with charcuterie, bread-making and our own micro-dairy. There’s always something interesting to explore or a discovery to be made. And we like to share what we find.
