Superb food is at the core of what we do and love. The River Cottage kitchen team make wonderful celebratory dinners, using the very best local and seasonal produce.

Sleeping up to 10 guests when booked with its recently refurbished annex, The Gardeners Cottage, this 17th Century Farmhouse invites the perfect place to rest and reflect upon your celebrations.
Why not book a visit to the Farm and I can show you the site or alternatively, you could book onto one of our dining events, which gives you a great opportunity to sample the food and experience our service. I am available most days during the week to show you around and discuss your plans further, please do let me know if there is a date which works for you.
