PECKFORTON CASTLE, the Cheshire hotel, wedding, conference and events venue, has been awarded their 3rd Rosette for culinary excellence by the AA board.
The Rosettes are awarded for a restaurant's selection and sympathetic treatment of the highest quality ingredients.
This is a good measure of recovery and success following the major arson attack the Castle suffered in the early hours of 19 June 2011. Around 25% of the Castle was damaged and it took a £2.3 million rebuild and restoration project to get it on its feet again.
The Castle was designed by architect Anthony Salvin for John Tollemache in 1840.
