Nestled within the enchanting grounds of Aynhoe Park in the Oxfordshire countryside, The Orangery at RH England offers an elegant dining experience that harmoniously blends rustic charm with refined culinary artistry. This exquisite restaurant is renowned not only for its stunning location, complete with panoramic views and free-roaming deer and stags, but also for a thoughtfully curated menu that celebrates elevated comfort food with a luxurious twist.
The dining atmosphere at The Orangery is a rare union of warmth and sophistication. Guests often find themselves captivated by the beautifully appointed interiors that echo the signature Restoration Hardware aesthetic, with an inviting salon setting that feels both grand and intimate. Complemented by impeccable service that consistently earns heartfelt praise, your meal here is as much about savoring the ambiance as it is about the food on your plate.
The cuisine skillfully balances indulgence with freshness, showcasing premium ingredients and masterful preparation. From the menu’s delectable starters such as the Grilled Avocado with Caviar (£55) and delicate Mini Lobster Rolls with Caviar (£48), to options like the Crispy Artichokes (£19) and the elegant charcuterie selections including the Prosciutto & Délice Board (£36), every dish is a celebration of texture and flavor. Sides like the Truffle Fries (£16) offer an intoxicating aroma of earthy truffle oil wrapped in golden crispiness, while the Coal Roasted Sweet Potatoes (£12) provide a sweet, smoky contrast that perfectly complements the more indulgent mains.
Classic salads such as the timeless Caesar or vibrant Arugula add a refreshing balance to the meal without overshadowing the heartier offerings. Diners frequently praise standout dishes including whole roasted meats and expertly cooked fish—the Branzino, for example, arrives deboned yet served whole in a presentation worthy of fine dining accolades.
Visitors routinely express delight over the uniqueness of the experience—one guest fondly recalls spending nearly 25% of the menu, savoring everything from the Kale Caesar to the crème brûlée and decadent cookies, each bite reflecting the culinary creativity and attention to detail that defines this restaurant.
While The Orangery embraces a slightly premium price point, it delivers undeniable value through its combination of premium quality ingredients, exceptional service, and the unforgettable setting of the Oxfordshire countryside estate. The complimentary valet parking upon arrival and the opportunity to explore the beautiful RH furniture gallery beforehand transform your visit into a multifaceted outing, making a leisurely day of it just as compelling as the food itself.

We attended RH England for my daughters birthday, and we were not dissapointed the location nestled in the beautiful countryside, complimentary valet parking upon arrival, breathtaking views of the Oxfordshirecountryside, service and hospitality to match. The food was premium cuts of meat and delicious. This renowned culinary venue has introduced the most substantial menu change in over a decade across all Restoration Hardware venues, reflecting its continued commitment to hospitality. A destination for dining nestled in the heart of the English countryside, RH England comprises a fine dining restaurant, The Orangery, alongside The Loggia, an informal pizza terrace, an elegant Tea Salon and Wine Lounge and a specialist Juicery. The culinary destination for dining at RH England is housed within the gallery at the historic Aynho Park, Oxfordshire. The 73-acre estate has been restored and reimagined as a design and hospitality destination, envisioned to inform and inspire. Alongside five exciting new culinary offerings, guests are invited to experience the architecture & design library, the Sir John Soane exhibition, the naturalistic gardens by Capability Brown and the RH interior design studio, all encapsulated within the RH England Gallery, their first outside North America. I would highly recommend visiting RH England I would give it a 5+.

This place was definitely an experience. Yes it is a bit pricey- but you also have to consider the building and atmosphere you are getting to dine in. The food was delicious - and shareable (whole chicken, whole branzino, huge steak, do yourself a favor and try the Maitake mushroom as a side or main). Definitely a place to visit and take in the countryside - and RH style! I will definitely be coming back.

What a surprise! After seeing some lovely furniture and guided by the most hospitable management, I was blown away by The Orangery. One of the 2, about to be 3, Restaurants on this property. The salon is fabulous, the menu was mouth watering, I ordered 25% of it! The salads, the fish, the burger, the chicken, the crispy artichokes, the crème brûlée, the cookies and so on were amazing. Definitely to be repeated.

Impeccable service and people here. Exquisite food presentation. Ample portion sizes. Luxury dining experience; food is good but not exceptional. Mulholland salad and artichoke entree, truffle fries. Chinese salad and charcuterie board. Next time I will have guidance I ordered too much. Great view of the estate with free roaming deer and stags.

Amazing property where you really live a unique experience while going out for dinner. If you get their early, you can go through their beautiful furniture gallery. The menu is simple and everyone in our group loved what they ordered. We tried a few vegan and non-vegan options like a delicious hamburger made in a baguette and a coliflower steak. The creme brulee and the banana split deserts are definitely worth sharing. Service was friendly and very professional, great experience!

What an amazing 1st time dining experience. Every dish we had was delicious and perfectly cooked. The service from Charlie was warm, friendly and unforgettable. The location and interior decor was grand, beautiful and inspirational. The Branzino fish fish was de-boned, yet served whole with head and tail intact... Michelin star quality. A gastronomic experience we will never forget.
