Our vegetable and herb plots supply our chefs with over forty different varieties of organic fruit and vegetables, many herbs and edible flowers. We plan carefully to use our plots to their full potential, giving us a regular supply of seasonal fruit and vegetables throughout the year to use in our restaurant and cookery school. This means that our menus are ever changing, using the best and freshest seasonal produce. And our cookery school guests can enjoy going out into the garden to pick their own ingredients.  

During the summer, our team will be out seeding, sowing, planting and harvesting produce every day. After you’ve relaxed and enjoyed lunch in the restaurant, you’re welcome to pop over to our plots to see what we’re picking or preparing to grow for the next season.

Our gardens are also surrounded by wild produce, ripe for foraging. Plums, apples, damsons, blackberries, and other wild surprises. We also source local mushrooms, watercress, sorrel and garlic. Our chefs’ aim this year is to make food from our plots available all year long, through pickling, fermenting and preserving.

Currently from our plots we are harvesting from our polytunnel, mustard grills, radish, watercress, pea shoots and watercress for our restaurant dishes.  Our 'Caramelised white chocolate, ginger, rhubarb and basil consommé' dessert is superb using rhubarb from our plots.  Our berries are looking good and starting to bud in the fruit cage.  Courgettes have now been planted and onions and garlic will follow shortly.
