Important Information

• - This is an outdoor–indoor heritage space, so expect garden breezes, birdsong, and the occasional curious butterfly. - The house is 450 years old, which means the pathways have personality and may be uneven in places. - Our menu is fully plant-based, crafted from fresh local ingredients. - The experience is slow, mindful, and story-driven. If you prefer fast, commercial workshops, this may feel too gentle for you.
