With a team of farmers and chefs at the helm, the dishes that come out of the kitchen stem from a land to table ethos using locally sourced and seasonal produce – and nothing goes to waste. As well as dining in the hotel’s main restaurant guests can opt for a private dining experience in their room or hire Jack Hanna’s Cottage for the night where your own personal chef will curate a menu to remember. After dinner retreat to the Nest Bar for a cocktail or two.
