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 superb 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.
 

Dining on the terrace                                            Breakfast in the morning sun



Dinner (optional): Dinner can be whatever you want it to be - just tell us what you would like to eat. A two course supper is also available. 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 (Prime Lighthorne), pork (Gloucestershire Old Spot) and game. Limousin cattle and 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.
