History, Design, Food & Wine – The Orangery at RH England

The Aynho Park estate, a 400 year old landmark estate, not only is the epitome of beauty but with RH England taking residency at the property, the venue becomes a celebration of history, design, food and wine. The Orangery restaurant, a sanctuary where sophistication and nature merge effortlessly, offers a serene environment that’s enveloped by glass walls that draw the eye to the surrounding landscape, where English countryside stretches out and deer meander through the greenery. The Orangery, a space of ethereal beauty, encapsulates the very essence of RH England—where every element, from the design to the culinary offerings, is an ode to refined living.

RH England provides a journey into a world where luxury meets artistry. The estate itself is a marvel, a sprawling canvas of manicured gardens and timeless architecture. Upon arrival, guests are greeted by a valet service that seamlessly introduces you to an experience where every detail is considered. The estate is not merely a backdrop but an integral part of the experience, where the blend of history and contemporary design creates a timeless atmosphere.

As an interior design gallery first, RH England transcends the ordinary, offering a curated selection of furnishings, artifacts, and art that are as functional as they are beautiful. Each piece is meticulously designed to reflect a commitment to quality and style. These items, which range from modern minimalist to classic elegance, are available for purchase, allowing guests to bring a piece of this unique aesthetic into their own homes. In this way, RH England is not just a place to visit but a source of inspiration that lingers long after you’ve left.

The Orangery, with its panoramic views and abundant natural light, serves as a haven for those seeking an exceptional dining experience. The menu here is a reflection of the estate’s dedication to quality, featuring dishes crafted from the freshest local ingredients. Begin with the Burrata, a symphony of textures and flavours, where creamy cheese meets the sweet acidity of heirloom cherry tomatoes and the earthiness of pesto. The Crispy Artichokes, deep fried rosemary-infused morsels that when dipped in the tangy lemon aioli become the treat you’ll want every day. From their selection of caviar dishes, the grilled avocado crowned with petrossian imperial kaluga hybrid caviar offers an indulgent yet balanced dish, where the buttery richness of the avocado is enhanced by the delicate brininess of the caviar.

For a main course, the whole grilled branzino is a standout, expertly cooked to retain its moisture and delicate flavour, while the mulholland drive salad offers a lighter, yet equally satisfying option, combining crisp greens with a medley of fresh, vibrant ingredients. No meal at The Orangery is complete without indulging in the homemade chocolate chip cookies, delicately sprinkled with sea salt—a sweet and savoury finale that is as comforting as it is sophisticated.

Beyond The Orangery, RH England offers a multitude of experiences, each designed to delight and inspire. The Tea Lounge and Wine Bar provide tranquil spaces to unwind, where you can savour a perfectly brewed cup of tea or enjoy a glass of fine wine while taking in the surroundings. For those who prefer the outdoors, The Loggia offers a more casual dining option. This outdoor grill, complete with a traditional pizza oven, allows guests to enjoy a leisurely lunch in the fresh air, surrounded by the natural beauty of the estate.

Soon, the estate will welcome an exciting new addition – The Conservatory. Set to become another highlight of RH England, this new dining venue promises to offer a culinary experience that rivals the best in fine dining, adding yet another layer to the already rich tapestry of options available to visitors.

A visit to RH England is an invitation to immerse yourself in a world where every moment is infused with elegance and every detail is meticulously placed.
