la Bécasse - Fine Dining in Shropshire


Paris House was originally built in 1878 in ‘Paris’. At the end of the 19th Century the timber framed building was dismantled and shipped piece by piece to its current home in the stunning grounds of Woburn Park, Bedfordshire.

After a colourful culinary history, Alan Murchison purchased Paris House at the end of 2009 and plans to draw from its rich Parisienne past creating a unique world class restaurant in a building first erected in the capital of gastronomy.

The new Paris House, opened on the 10th February 2010 and its identity echoes the birthplace and era of the structures individual past. The new name style has been hand drawn to capture the essence of Paris itself, drawing from the typographical and architectural brilliance of one of the most prolific figures of that time in the French Art Nouveau Movement, Hector Guimard, whose greatest lasting achievement is the creation of the world famous iconic entrances to the Paris metro.

Alan and the team are privileged to have the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of the late Peter Chandler who formerly ran Paris House and built its reputation on superb French cuisine. We are delighted to offer guests an exciting new menu that encompasses the classics but with a modern, fine-food twist. In addition, the new Paris House now boasts a Chef’s Table situated in the heart of the kitchen for those guests who like to be in the centre of the action.

We look forward to welcoming you to the new Paris House and trust that you will enjoy the experience as much as we are.  Reservations for Paris House: Telephone 01525 290 692
