“An absolutely beautiful place to stay. We didn’t realise quite what 42 acres was when we booked but I have to say it was absolutely stunning!”
Catering
Our retreats include all meals and snacks from our “Soil to Gut” menu. These are prepared by our private retreat chefs featuring ingredients grown, foraged and wild-tended on the land you’re walking.
Our ‘Soil to Gut’ Menu
The food you eat here is a final expression of our land, lovingly tended and created by our land and food teams.
The food we serve is simple, hyper-local and nutrient-dense. It demonstrates a way of eating that continues the traditions of the past and supports our shared future. As we cultivate and restore the wellbeing of our planet Earth, we cultivate and restore the wellbeing within ourselves.
We are inspired by permaculture and are organic in principle. We love using raw ingredients as nature created them. We aim to source 80% of produce, year-round from within 42 miles.
Our private retreat chefs can create the right menu for your needs, whether that’s plant-based, omnivorous, or anything in between.
We love to cook outdoors on an open fire! If you’d be interested in a unique outdoor dining experience, please ask for more details when booking.
