Sopwell House, a lavish country house hotel located in Hertfordshire, has elevated its pan-Asian dining experience at Omboo with the arrival of Head Chef Benny Lee. Guests can look forward to vibrant and flavourful dishes that highlight the rich culinary traditions of Far-East Asian cuisine.

The gastronomic journey begins with small bites such as Soft-Shell Crab expertly seasoned with dried chilli, black bean and garlic, Fried Chicken with sriracha honey mayo and Truffle Spring Rolls sitting alongside an array of meticulously crafted sushi and sashimi. For larger plates, there’s Grilled Lamb Chops with fried potato and coriander mint sauce, Lobster tail with asparagus and onions, and Miso-glazed Black Cod. To finish, indulge in a Valrhona Chocolate Fondant with wild strawberry sorbet or Mango Yuzu Panna Cota with honeycomb. For those dining in groups, the restaurant offers three diverse set-sharing menus alongside the à la carte, priced from £58 per person. For drinks, Omboo offers an expertly crafted wine list that complements Asian flavours and unique cocktails that enhance the dining experience.

The perfect destination to savour the flavours of Asia, the intimate restaurant itself boasts a vibrant atmosphere with a touch of glamour, from striking fl oral-inspired walls and plush furnishings to intimate corners. Open Tuesday to Sunday from midday to midnight; reservations can be made at www.sopwellhouse.co.uk/omboo-dining or call 01727 864 477.
