a wild mushroom ragout, every pairing is chosen to complement and contrast in just the right way. Valeria is always happy to share the story behind each bottle – whether it’s from a renowned European vineyard or a rising British producer – adding an educational and intimate layer to the experience. T is thoughtful attention to wine is part of what makes a meal
at Hibiscus so memorable. Guests can opt for the full wine fl ight to accompany the tasting menu, which many describe as a masterclass in fl avour harmony. Alternatively, the team can tailor a bespoke wine pairing based on a guest’s personal preferences, dietary needs or special occasion. Beyond the food and wine, dining at Hibiscus is an immersive
experience. T e Billiard Room retains its historic charm while offering an intimate and contemporary setting. The Abbey’s architecture, with views across its sweeping grounds, creates a sense of occasion from the moment guests arrive. But perhaps what makes Hibiscus truly unique is its connection
to the wider mission of Delapré Abbey. As part of the Delapré Abbey Preservation Trust, Hibiscus contributes directly to the charity’s work to preserve the site’s history, protect its green spaces, and promote wellbeing through community initiatives. Every reserva- tion supports these eff orts, meaning that a dinner at Hibiscus has a lasting impact beyond the plate. Richard Clinton, Chief Executive of
the Delapré Abbey
Preservation Trust, said: “Hibiscus Fine Dining is a shining example of how heritage spaces can be reimagined to deliver contemporary experiences while staying true to their historical roots. Bart’s creativity, passion for local produce, and connection to our grounds bring something truly special to Northamptonshire’s culinary scene. T rough our greenhouses and Walled Garden, we’re not just growing ingredients, we’re cultivating a vision for sustainability, innovation and excellence. “Hibiscus is about more than exceptional food; it’s about creating
experiences that celebrate place, people and purpose. It’s inspiring to see how this approach is unlocking new possibilities, from garden to plate.”
