April is here and the going is good! We have been busy finishing off the garden which should be ready for action in a week or 2. It's already looking like a great space and we're all looking forward to using it. we will have a grill outside where we will be able to offer a few nibbles in the summertime. The tarmac is going down so the car park will be looking rather lovely in no time.

Our head chef Benny has been working on the new updated Spring menu which will be out shortly, with a bit of a seasonal change-up and re-format. Our lunch menu is growing and more people are joining us for lunch.

We are now open Mondays for lunch and evening service. You can eat with us Mon - Sat 12:00 to 2:30 & 7:00 to 10:00. We also have a traditional roast available on Sundays from 12:00 to 2:30.

Ben's Board

Our head chef Ben Abercrombie has been putting a few specials up on his board outside the kitchen, which are proving popular. Keep half an eye out whilst walking by the kitchen to see what's on when you visit, it's always something a little different.

Clinger Farm - view site

Clinger Farm is moving along nicely and is starting to burst into life with all of this sunshine. I think the chickens are happy to see the back of the snow and the pigs can finally roll around in the mud! we're all looking forward to the summer.

We have recently altered the shooting lodge so it's more suitable for larger dinner parties and events. It's fully stocked with a kitchen and utensils and large gas burner. The main room has a huge table which can comfortably seat 14 people. The space is available for hire for corporate events, dinner parties and social events. We can also offer a catering service if you would like everything taken care of. See the site for more details or call 01963 32002
