A Note from the Estate Chef
Throughout the growing season, our team gather fresh herbs and edible flowers daily from the Vinery’s planters and greenhouse, bringing a real sense of seasonality to our afternoon teas. Parsley, mint, chives and a variety of edible blooms are picked at their best, alongside fragrant rosemary and thyme gathered from the Vinery’s bedding plants. We are equally proud to incorporate the estate’s own produce, with Raby honey and rapeseed oil supplied by the Coach House. Each ingredient reflects the richness of our surroundings and our commitment to celebrating the best of the estate, from garden to table.
