Dining
The Orchard Restaurant and Lounge
The Orchard serves hotel guests, members and local visitors in the main house. You are welcome to reserve a meal without joining the club or buying a leisure pass. The menu balances familiar dishes with vegetarian and vegan choices, and the lounge offers a quieter place for coffee or a drink. A reservation is recommended at busy times. Please mention access needs and allergies when booking and again on arrival so the team can discuss the actual order.
