Best Value Market Menu Lunches at Luxury Hotels

It may surprise you to know that many so called ‘Red Carpet Luncheon’ places offer surprisingly good value. Market Menus use seasonal ingredients and change frequently depending on what the chef feels is fresh and current and they often use the menu as an opportunity to try out dishes for inclusion on A la Carte. Add to that the benefits you receive from being a Design Restaurants member and you can bring the cost of three course meal down to as little as £11.25 a head for three courses!

We have identified ten superb venues offering delicious market menus at incredible value – pretty much the same price as eating at your local pub – but instead you are treated to exquisite service, sumptuous surroundings and the best ingredients cooked by top-class chefs at prestigious destinations. You will be amazed at the value being offered at these destination restaurants. We’ve given a menu sample of starter, main and desert for each including a link to the full menu and also a price for three courses with and without Design Restaurants Membership Card. Get lunching!
