Our menu reflects our sense of place in the English countryside with a short and ever-changing menu, guided by the seasons and the garden, with produce-led cooking that is simple and elegant but prepared with imagination and care.

The restaurant led by Head Chef, Jed Wrobel, and is located on our outside terrace which is situated under a tented awning, overlooking the garden. During winter months we move inside into our heated Carnation House.
