Our Garden

Mount St John Garden

A creative masterpiece of RHS multi-award-winning landscape architect, Tom Stuart-Smith, our treasured kitchen gardens at nearby Mount St John, keep our kitchens supplied with the freshest of seasonal produce year in year out. Our chefs work with the head gardener and her team to work with mother nature, crafting seasonal menus of the highest standard.

Under the skin of the seasons

Our chefs have the luxury of being treated to informative and educational tours, enabling them to get under the skin of what it means to produce truly seasonal dishes. Our Chef Academy encapsulates all that is required of professionals at the top of their game. And it keeps our guests coming back for more.

Garden Tours

Throughout the summer, when the gardens are brimming with produce and can be fully appreciated, the privately owned gardens are opened – at the owner’s discretion – to the organised, informative tours. A truly enjoyable experience, whether green-fingered or not, these tours make the perfect gift and only a stone’s throw from one of our own Collection, The Carpenter’s Arms at Felixkirk, you can top off the perfect day sampling the latest dishes.
