Where you'll be working - The Garden Cafe

The Garden Caf menu is inspired by the view from our restaurant. An ever changing and evolving view over our production gardens, national collection of apple trees, orchards and surrounding countryside far in the distance.

All our dishes and ingredients are hand selected to fit within our concept of vegetable lead dining. Paired by an outstanding flight of cyder from our own cyder press and sharp and enthusiastic service, this is a dining venue that offers a refined yet relaxed experience.

Quality, simplicity and seasonality is at the heart of our offerings.
