On the 21^st of September 2010 the latest Ardmore Ceramic Art Collection - in conjunction with Charles Greig and The Collection by Liz McGrath - will be launched at an invitation only opening.

The collection - entitled Travellers of Africa - captures the imagination of the artists and in doing so portrays the previously unrecorded stories, myths and fantasies of the African traveller.

The exceptional Travellers of Africa Ardmore collection will also be showcased at Charles Greig in Hyde Park, The Cellars-Hohenort, The Marine and The Plettenberg.

The Conservatory is another exciting development in The Cellars-Hohenort dining range … it occupies the old Greenhouse space and, once everything is completed, it will be the main Cellars-Hohenort restaurant.

The Conservatory head chef, Michael Cooke, has developed a menu that combines some of our well-known classics with a few new and exciting dishes. There is also a significant increase of produce used, in the Conservatory fare, from our bountiful garden and other local producers.

We are presently reworking The Conservatory space and we are delighted to announce that its new fresh look will soon be ready to share. In the interim we can tell you that we are keeping the historic feel, including the well-known focus on our famous 300 year-old oak tree.

The Greenhouse is limited to just 45 seats ensuring that it is a consistently intimate fine dining restaurant experience.

We are also delighted to announce that Peter Tempelhoff, The Collection by Liz McGrath Executive Chef, will be at the helm of the Greenhouse and back - full-time - on the stoves.

The Greenhouse will be open five nights a week (Tuesday to Saturday) and, one of the team’s aims, is to maintain a consistently high standard of food and service. To ensure this standard is maintained the same team will be on duty every evening.
