Eating and drinking may well be a pleasurable part of your stay with us. A welcoming tea with irresistible home made cake is served on arrival, by the fire in Winter, or on the terrace in Summer. A really delicious candlelit dinner is available most nights.  We also have a very good wine list and those who enjoy a good bottle will be spoilt for choice. The list can be emailed to you on request. A selection of reasonably priced house wines are offered in addition from £8-£21, and pre dinner drinks of your choice are available too from £3.

Dinner
4 courses @ £30 (optional): Dinner can be whatever you want it to be - just tell us what you would like to eat, or let us know in advance what you don't eat. We cater for all dietary requirements. A two course supper is also available at £20. The rich soil in our organic kitchen garden produces crop after crop of vegetables and fruit all the year round. Nearby are several wonderful farm shops which supplement what can't be grown, and where possible local organic produce is sourced. Asparagus and all manner of soft fruit is plentiful round here, nestling as we do in the bountiful Vale of Evesham. Within three miles there are two superb butchers, who provide us with a wide variety of local beef, lamb, pork and game. Limousin cattle and Lancashire Blackface sheep graze here on the farm. At nearby Donnington is our local trout farm with its smokery, and the renowned Dalesford Organics is is a local
treasure trove.

Dinner is generally eaten en famille by candlelight, or in the warm weather on the terrace. But if you prefer to eat alone or in your group, that's fine too. After dinner, guests can sit and chat over a glass of wine, or relax in their own drawing room and enjoy their coffee with TV, music, conversation or a good book.
