The Grill at The Dorchester will once again introduce Grouse to its seasonal menu on Tuesday 13 August 2012 in celebration of Glorious 12th, the start of the Grouse season in Britain.

The Grill at The Dorchester enjoys a reputation as one of the UK's top restaurants showcasing classic British cuisine. As a nod to the long-held tradition of Glorious 12th, which sees shooting enthusiasts head to the moors of Scotland and Northern England, the kitchen team at The Grill will introduce three grouse dishes to their seasonal menu. Guests can enjoy beautifully cooked dishes such as traditional roasted grouse with cabbage and bacon, game chips, Cumberland sauce, liver toasts served with game gravy and grouse pie with foie gras, black pudding, beets and game jus.

Available from 13 August until the end of the grouse season on 10 December, the menu is a perfect display of the team's passion for the provenance of ingredients used. With grouse sourced mainly from the Yorkshire moors, diners can enjoy the best that the British Isles has to offer.
