Our Conservatory restaurant, with its beautiful views of the terrace garden, serves lunch, afternoon tea and our table d'hôte dinner menu, 7 days per week. A special Sunday lunch menu, also includes a roast of the day.
All menus focus on featuring the freshest local produce, with fruit and vegetables picked daily from the Douneside garden.
