Food

We love food and are unashamedly proud of the food we grow, harvest and prepare from our estate. We have a large organic vegetable garden that provides just about all we need for our fishing season. Last year we added a fruit garden which we harvest for mixed fruit crumbles, summer puddings and gooseberry fools. We have home produced milk-fed pork, and lamb from the apple orchards. Naturally we have our own free-range eggs which are collected for your breakfast each morning. The food could not be fresher, and what can't be gathered from the estate or the garden is sourced locally.

We serve exquisite luncheons and candle-lit dinners in the original 15th century dining room and in the grounds of Malvoisine. We prepare barbecues near the river, or bring hampers of food and drink to the secret island. One of our favourite places to dine in the summer is the large round tower which stays wonderfully cool.

Our aim is not to fuss around you, but to encourage you to feel at home at Malvoisine. Drinks and homemade goodies are on offer throughout the day - just show up and look hopeful!

If you have any dietary needs or if there are any foods you would prefer not to encounter, then we can suggest alternatives.

A typical dinner at Malvoisine might be:

Canapés served with champagne or chilled Chablis

Scallops and black pudding with apple

Pork with mushrooms, prunes and crème fresh, served with vegetables

Green salad

Local cheese

Crème caramel and berries

Coffee and goodies

We always have a choice of good wines for you to enjoy with your dinner.
