Winners at the Trencherman's Awards 2023!

We scoop ‘Best Hotel’, adding another win to our trophy cabinet.


We have been crowned ‘Best Trencherman’s Hotel’ at the prestigious Trencherman’s Awards 2023.

Now in its 10th year, the Trencherman’s Awards gives foodies across the Southwest the chance to support their favourite hotels, chefs, restaurants, pubs and front of house teams in various food-related categories, voting for their favourites to include Best Trencherman’s Restaurant, Best Trencherman’s Hotel and Best Trencherman’s Pub.

This year the awards boasted a staggering 30,000 individual votes, where the winners were announced at a ceremony dinner at Salcombe Harbour Hotel on Monday 6th March 2023, where we beat finalists Lewtrenchard Manor, Talland Bay Hotel and The Castle at Taunton.

Operations Manager Benjamin Wilson says “As Operations Manager of Boringdon Hall Hotel, I am incredibly honoured and proud to work with such a professional, dedicated, and hardworking team. The Trencherman’s Award for best hotel 2023 is a true testament to, not only the commitment and dedication of our entire team, but also to the sheer love and passion for what we do. At Boringdon, our number one priority is to always put our guests first, and exceed all expectations and WOW them, and to provide memorable experiences; all of which is achieved through teamwork and a tireless work ethic. As we move ahead to the future, we are excited to continue to provide excellent service whilst we look to continuously improve as a hotel and spa; which are spearheaded by the heartbeat of Boringdon, that is our team members and their inspirational managers.”

Boasting three restaurants within the hotel and spa grounds the AA 4 Rosette and Michelin listed Àclèaf serves a seasonally-led four-course signature menu created by award-winning head chef Scott Paton, the all-day-dining space Mayflower Brasserie serving wholesome dishes in laid-back ambient surroundings and the Spatisserie at renowned Gaia Spa where a menu designed to nourish in natural surrounding is on offer, with all three spaces available for residents, day guests and evening diners to experience.

On the win, Head Chef Scott Paton quotes “It's always a pleasure to be involved in the Trencherman’s awards and this year to pick up best hotel is a real testimonial to the teams hard work through all departments.”
