Woven by Adam Smith — Modern British / Country House, Windsor
Woven by Adam Smith occupies the fine dining room at Coworth Park — the Dorchester Collection country house hotel in the Berkshire countryside near Ascot — in a position of considerable natural beauty: the estate extends across parkland designed in the English landscape tradition, and the dining room’s relationship with the grounds and the seasons is as important to the experience as the food.
Chef Adam Smith’s cooking pairs elegant contemporary menus with the natural beauty of the estate setting, drawing on the kitchen garden and the Berkshire countryside for the seasonal ingredients that define each menu. The cooking is Modern British in the most confident sense — technically accomplished, seasonally responsive, and genuinely invested in the quality of the British ingredient landscape.
The wine programme is among the most comprehensive in the Windsor area: a cellar built with the seriousness that a Dorchester Collection property demands and a sommelier who understands the relationship between the kitchen’s seasonal orientation and the natural wine culture that has become important in this style of cooking.
Woven is for Windsor area visits that want the full country house hotel experience — the estate landscape, the Michelin-starred kitchen, and the luxury property context — without the crowds of the Bray village restaurants.
