New Feasting Menus
Our Farmhouse Feasting Menu is now available to book - a seasonal celebration of British cooking, designed for the colder months when good food, good company and long, unrushed meals matter most.
The menu is rooted in provenance and flavour, starting with homemade rosemary focaccia, followed by thoughtfully cooked dishes that showcase the best of the season. Think Brancaster mussels steamed with garden leeks, Suffolk cyder and clotted cream, slow roasted Priors Hall Farm pork belly served with comforting winter sides, and generous desserts made for sharing. It’s food that feels familiar but special, the kind that invites plates to be passed and conversations to linger.
Perfect for birthdays, family gatherings, team get-togethers or simply an excuse to bring people together, our feasting menus are all about honest, farm-to-fork cooking. Confident flavours, seasonal ingredients and dishes designed to be enjoyed around the table.
The menu is served for 8–16 guests in one of our private dining rooms, each full of character and warmth, making them ideal for long winter lunches or cosy evenings that gently roll on.
