This National Dessert Day (14th October 2026), Michelin-starred restaurant
Àclèaf at Boringdon Hall Hotel & Spa invites guests to rethink the final course with An Ode to Dessert, an entirely dessert-led tasting menu celebrating sweetness, seasonality and creativity.
Available for six days only, from 13th - 18th October 2026, the exclusive menu coincides with National Dessert Day on 14th October, offering diners the opportunity to experience dessert through a series of inventive and unexpected flavour combinations.
Created by Head Pastry Chef John Brimicombe, the six-course menu moves beyond traditional notions of dessert and takes guests on a journey of unexpected pairings, beginning with Doughnut with Gruyère and fig, before moving into Celeriac with miso and caviar and Harrogate Blue with apple. The sweeter notes develop through Pistachio with white chocolate and maple, followed by Duck egg with pear and cinnamon, before concluding with an indulgent Chocolate, Nicolas Berger and date creation.
John Brimicombe, Head Pastry Chef, said: “In honour of National Dessert Day, we’re celebrating the final course with our new tasting menu, An Ode to Dessert. We've homed in on the natural sweetness of each ingredient to create dishes that feel beautifully balanced and perfectly suited to the occasion.”
Priced at £130 per person, An Ode to Dessert is available to whole tables only from 13th - 18th October 2026.
