Karma Salford Hall’s Tempest Restaurant has scored yet another industry accolade as it’s just scooped the “Best Luxury Hotel Restaurant 2025 – Warwickshire” title at the prestigious Restaurant & Bar Awards, cementing its reputation as a gastronomic jewel in England’s historic heartland.
Set within a meticulously restored Tudor manor, Tempest Restaurant marries centuries of history with contemporary culinary brilliance. Exposed beams frame an intimate dining space where soft lighting illuminates original stone walls and wood panelling, creating an atmosphere that feels both timeless and thoroughly modern.
Under the masterful direction of Chef James Woodhams, the restaurant has elevated local ingredients to extraordinary heights. His signature dishes include such delights as chicken & black pudding terrine or lamb cutlet and braised rolled shoulder with dauphinoise potatoes, perfectly embodying his philosophy of respecting tradition and local producers while embracing innovation.
Woodhams sources ingredients from within a 30-mile radius whenever possible, celebrating Warwickshire’s rich agricultural bounty while honouring the historic setting that houses this exceptional culinary destination.
