– Scott Paton, Head Chef
At the heart of Boringdon Hall lies Àclèaf, our Michelin-starred dining experience led by Head Chef Scott Paton. Here, something special happens when skill and creativity come together. The journey begins with a glass of Blanc de Blancsfrom Kent — the first step in a menu shaped by place, season, and feeling.
Scott’s tasting menu is more than a sequence of beautifully crafted dishes. It’s a reflection of his culinary philosophy: honouring heritage flavours with restraint and finesse, using the finest seasonal ingredients alongside thoughtful pairings.
SNACKS
Paired with: Blanc de Blancs, Kent
An elegant introduction. These refined snacks awaken the palate with subtlety and texture, offering a glimpse into the menu’s narrative arc.
CAVIAR
Paired with: Albariño Espumoso, Rías Baixas
Caviar, pristine and nuanced, meets the coastal breeze of Rías Baixas. The Albariño Espumoso brings lift and salinity — a pairing that is both fresh and profound.
TURBOT
Paired with: “Grains de Celles”, Champagne
A study in delicacy. The turbot is prepared with restraint, allowing its natural sweetness to shine against the finesse and structure of a grower Champagne.
QUAIL
Paired with: Brut, Kent
Tender quail, full of quiet intensity, is balanced by the bright acidity and orchard fruit of an English Brut — a moment of earthiness and elegance combined.
WAGYU
Paired with: Blanc de Noirs, Kent
Here, the menu reaches its crescendo. Rich, marbled Wagyu, offset by the bold yet graceful profile of a Kentish Blanc de Noirs — a statement in luxury and control.
PEACH
Paired with: Junmai Ginjo, Akashi
A palate cleanser of sorts, yet so much more. The seasonal peach is delicate and juicy, pairing harmoniously with the floral, lightly polished notes of Junmai Ginjo — an East meets-West dialogue in dessert.
CHOCOLATE
Paired with: “Le Terroir”, Champagne
A final, indulgent embrace. Deep, velvety chocolate finds surprising harmony with Le Terroir, a Champagne that offers tension and minerality — ending the journey not in decadence alone, but with clarity and elegance.
