About The Old Deanery

Introducing Yorkshire’s newest restaurant destination: Located in the heart of Ripon, The Old Deanery is a Jacobean mansion in the shadows of Ripon Cathedral. New for winter 2023, The Old Deanery is opening its doors as an exclusive dining experience, with renowned chef Adam Jackson at the helm. If you haven’t been to The Old Deanery recently, you haven’t been to The Old Deanery. Taken over by family-owned Layton Hill Hotels in late 2021, the site has been operating as an exclusive use wedding and events venue for two successful seasons. Now, with the addition of Adam Jackson and Alex Stainsby to the team, The new Old Deanery is born. From November, The Old Deanery will be open from Wednesday lunchtime until Sunday afternoon, serving a signature tasting menu each evening. During the daytime, grazing boards will be available to enjoy alongside drinks in the bar or garden. Sunday lunch will be available on alternate weekends. Adam brings with him a buzz of excitement, having a collection of awards and accreditations to his name, and a list of some of the top restaurants on his CV. Adam was head chef at the Black Swan at Oldstead, where he helped win its first Michelin star in 2012. He then set up his own restaurant, the Park in Marmadukes Townhouse hotel which gained three AA rosettes. Dining at The Old Deanery is an immersive experience, and you move through the building as you dine. Arrive into the cosy welcome lounge for pre-dinner drinks; chat, get comfortable, and relax – there will be no classical piano and hushed tones in here! Move through to the bar where you can watch some of the chefs work before they invite you to take your first course. The main event takes place in the restaurant, but forget white tablecloths and stilted service; the food may be formal but the atmosphere is not. Finally, you can retire after dinner to a cosy chair and enjoy a coffee and treats.
