Designed and made on-site by our award-winning chefs, our menus feature the finest locally sourced ingredients, with inspiration drawn from the seasonal harvest of our no-dig garden. Start your celebration with canapés like Honey and Mustard-glazed Sausages or our delicious Mature Cheddar Cheese Doughnuts with truffle aioli. For starters, favourites include Beef Bresaola with smoked baby onions or Chicken Thigh Croquette with pancetta and Caesar dressing.
Main courses like our Red Wine Braised Blade of Beef with horseradish mash or the vegetarian Leek, Cheddar and Portobello Mushroom Wellington offer hearty, comforting options to please every guest. Round off your meal with desserts such as Chocolate Brownie Delice or White Chocolate Cheesecake, perfect for a sweet ending. As the evening continues, keep the festivities lively with hot toddies, winter-inspired cocktails and late-night bites like pizzas, tacos or burgers - just the thing to keep the celebrations going strong.
Hunker down in our sumptuous suites
