Experience the ultimate in fine dining at HQ at The Grand, our exclusive restaurant

Much of the pleasure of dining comes from the environment where the food is served, and HQ at The Grand is a perfect illustration of this. The wide spaces, breathtaking views and modern decor all lend themselves to an unsurpassable ambience when you step in to this beautifully-restored room to dine.

With a relaxing atmosphere and fabulous furnishings, HQ really is the jewel in the crown that is the Cedar Court Grand Hotel.

An outstanding menu developed by our renowned Head Chef

HQ features a superb range of wholesome classic British dishes, with a creative blend of traditional favourites and more adventurous gastronomic delights. Our skilled team of experienced chefs serve local, seasonal produce sourced from excellent suppliers, and can even tell you where our ingredients came from - even down to the name of the boat your fresh fish was caught from, or the farmer who ethically bred your meat!

In addition to our extensive menu, HQ also features a cheese trolley well stocked with exquisite choices from around the world, including British classic cheeses. Our signature carving trolley with Gueridon dishes offers you a tasty roast of the day. Our portions are well-sized to ensure you feel fully satisfied at the end of your dining experience. With both á la carte and Table d'hôte options, you can choose the right dishes to suit your mood at any time of day.

Select your ideal wine from our extensive range, or choose to enjoy cocktails or champagne with your meal, from our bar. Whatever your desires, our friendly staff will guide you through your choices to ensure a superb dining experience.

If you're looking for some afternoon refreshment, why not step in to HQ to enjoy Afternoon Tea, or partake of some delicious fresh pastries hand-made by our talented Pastry Sous Chef?

Beautiful surroundings and superb staff that add to your dining experience

When you step in to HQ, the first thing you'll notice is the pristine linen, silver-plated cutlery and well-stocked tables, before taking in the warm ambience and friendly greeting from our staff. There is no shortage of hospitable and attentive waiters discreetly overseeing your meal to ensure you want for nothing as you sample your courses. Informal service and knowledgeable staff mean that you will feel relaxed and at ease as you discuss menu options with your waiter, who will have superb knowledge of the food you are about to consume.

Dining at HQ is an unforgettable experience which will delight and satisfy you, setting you up for an evening sight-seeing around York, continuing business discussions or simply retiring to The Cocktail Bar or Whisky Lounge to continue your evening of pampering!
