GARDENS CLOSED DUE TO THE IMPACT OF HEAVY RAINFALL. WE HOPE TO REOPEN ON FRI 22 MARCH. SHOPS & CAFÉS REMAIN OPEN DAILY.

REcipes

We believe that great food starts with great ingredients. We are lucky to have the very best on our doorstep; freshly picked produce from our Kitchen Garden, pasture-fed Lincoln Red beef and game from the estate.

Seville Orange Recipes

Seville oranges have arrived in our Farm Shop. To the Tudors, these bitter globes were ‘golden apples’, a luxury to brighten up the winter.

Sevilles are traditionally used to make marmalade and have a very short season so get that pan bubbling away soon. As an alternative they can be used to make an orange liqueur, there is just a bit of a wait before you can drink it!

Blood Orange Roasted Chicken

Blood oranges have arrived in our Farm Shop. The blood orange is a variety of orange (Citrus × sinensis) with crimson, almost blood-coloured flesh. Along with their lovely red colour, blood oranges tend to have a noticeable and delicious raspberry edge to their flavour.

Pesto Stuffed Spaghetti Squash

Spaghetti squash can be cooked in a variety of ways, including baking, boiling, steaming, air frying, or microwaving. Once cooked the flesh of this fruit can be prepared in a way that its “strands” look like and are as long as traditional spaghetti noodles. It can be served with or without sauce as a substitute for pasta, and its seeds can be roasted, similar to pumpkin seeds. Spaghetti squash contains many nutrients, including folic acid, potassium, and beta-carotene. 

Kuri Squash Recipes

When Kuri squash is cooked, it has an incredibly smooth and creamy texture. The flavor is nutty, mildly sweet, and a bit earthy – somewhat like chestnut. Kuri is also a good source of vitamins A and C, potassium and iron.

If you’re planning on having some pumpkin-carving fun, don’t let those pumpkin innards go to waste!
