This comes ahead of the next set of Covid-19 restrictions being lifted on Monday, April 12, after which time outdoor hospitality, non-essential shops, hairdressers and gyms will be permitted to reopen.

Sheffield’s Best Western Plus Mosborough Hall Hotel has been busy transforming its Darcy’s restaurant during lockdown, and has completed refurbishments to create a stylish outdoor dining area and a private dining pavilion, which can be booked exclusively for up to six people.

General manager Richard Beck said: “We are extremely excited to be finally welcoming guests back once again. Lockdown has been an immense challenge of course, but also gave us the opportunity to look at how we could provide guests with an even greater dining experience. So, keen to match the calibre of the food with the quality of the historic setting, we have developed a range of new dishes that we hope will appeal to local food lovers.”

He added: “Our outdoor renovations have only added to the ambience of the brasserie. It provides a warm and welcoming al fresco courtyard space for socially distanced dining, with a private dining option in our garden area pavilion for a group of up to six. Perfect for a small celebration or family meal after so long apart.”

The new spring menu, which will be available from April 12, will focus on relaxed al fresco dining, with a selection of wood-fired pizzas freshly cooked in the outdoor oven and authentic BBQ classics.

The menu will be served by the hotel’s team to the customer’s table in the courtyard dining space, with new socially distanced seating areas, or to the garden pavilion which offers a more private dining opportunity.

The May menu has been developed by the hotel’s resident head chef Alex Fretwell and general manager Richard Beck; and a spokesperson for Darcy’s said it will focus on “high-quality fresh ingredients, locally sourced,” and will be presented with Alex’s “simple, contemporary style.”
