"United Kingdom South Asian Chef of 2011 (Finalist)"
At Dorrington Old Hall, we are proud to introduce Persian influenced Cuisine for the first time in Shropshire.
"Try something delicious and unique today!"
“Persian cooking is dominated by simplicity and yet the results are amazing; to look at, to smell and to taste! It is full of pleasant surprises!”
Located in one of the most prestigious buildings in the village of Dorrington, just 10 minutes' drive south of Shrewsbury, on the main link road (A49) to the midlands. It is an elegant Black and White, timber framed, building that dates back to the 13th Century.
Nevertheless, inside it provides a contemporary atmosphere, with a present-day décor that is graceful and pleasing to the eye. Food is prepared freshly using our own fusion, as well as Persian influenced recipes and is served by friendly and courteous staff – an experience not to be missed.
The culinary traditions of Persians reach back to the time of the ancient Greeks, when Persia was the most powerful civilization in the world. Through time, Persian cuisine has grown and influenced the culinary mores of the Middle East, Central Asia and India.
Persian cooking is renowned for its elaborate rice dishes, delicious kababs, nourishing soups and hearty stews. Persians delicately flavour their food with herbs, spices and dried fruits. A variety of nan-like breads supplement rice. Pomegranates and dates provide a sweet finish to meals.
Our cooking is dominated by simplicity and yet the results are amazing; to look at, to smell and to taste! It is full of pleasant surprises!
Furthermore, we offer a limited selection of Fusion North Indian Cuisine, too.
