Whether you’re enjoying a homemade supper in your cosy hut, a glass of red wine around the fire-pit or a summer woodfired pizza under the festoon lit courtyard, our team know how important food is to your experience. From hearty breakfasts delivered straight to your shepherd’s hut to warming winter hampers after a dusk birdwatching tour, we focus on complementing your Elmley stay with wonderful food.
Summer Evenings - Available from May 15th 2025 to September 30th 2025
Relax in the courtyard under the festoon lights, with your tipple of choice and enjoy our delicious woodfired pizzas. Take-away to your accommodation or dine alfresco in your favourite spot.
Breakfast
When you wake up to sunrise across the Reserve, breakfast needs to work hard to compete with that view! Our carefully created seasonal breakfast menu has been designed to set you up for day out on the Reserve or a hard day loafing in your hut.
Order a delicious breakfast which is delivered to your hut or tent to enjoy with the views from bed.
We can also serve breakfast to you in the Farmhouse or Cottage, just get in touch to ask
Picnic lunches and Drinks
For staying guests we offer pre-booked picnics to be enjoyed out in nature. Over the Winter months, there is an honesty bar with local drinks and snacks, along with complimentary tea and coffee in the Linhay, so cosy up with a book or one of the board games in front of the wood burner.
Autumn & Winter Supper Hampers - Available from 1st Oct 2024 until May 15th 2025
As we settle into Autumn, light the fire, cosy up in your hut and we'll bring two course hampers of warming home-cooked meals to you. Please book in advance. Relaxed sharing dishes are also available for House & Cottage guests. We also offer Charcuterie & Cheese boards.
Gatherings in the houses
We can prepare relaxed meals to be delivered to your house or arrange private dining for those special occasions.
