The Glasshouse is our farm-to-fork café, situated inside a beautiful conservatory with views over the Suckley Hills. Our chefs create ever-changing seasonal menus for brunch, lunch and afternoon tea, using ingredients from our home farm and kitchen, plus hero ingredients from award-winning local food and drink producers. We aim to source as much of our produce from a 20-mile radius as we can, and are lucky to have exceptional butchers, bakers, farmers, jam-makers and drinks producers on our doorstep.
A typical lunch menu includes delicious seasonal salads, homemade soups, fresh fish dishes, burgers made from our own Holloways Hereford herd beef and our famous Glasshouse tarts. There’s a log-burning fire for chillier days and sofas to sink into, as well as free WiFi. Fresh Italian coffee – roasted in Herefordshire – teas and homemade cakes and traybakes are always available. We welcome well-behaved dogs on leads. When the sun's out, dine in our sunny courtyards or out on our terrace.
THE KITCHEN GARDEN AND HOME FARM
Our menus are a celebration of the season: what's at its best in the kitchen garden; home-grown beef from the Holloways home farm, and the seasonal bounty of the hedgerows and woods surrounding our showrooms. At the heart of the kitchen garden is a productive polytunnel supplying the Glasshouse kitchen with culinary treasures year-round. In summer, heritage salad crops, juicy tomatoes, Swiss chard and courgettes are in abundance. Autumn brings beetroot and root vegetables, while the hedgerows yield plums and blackberries. Winter offers sloes, picked after the first frost and used in puddings and our own sloe gin, while the raised beds are bursting with leeks and kale. In spring, we forage the banks of the brook for wild garlic, which we turn into delicious pestos, soups and sauces.
On the farm, our pedigree herd of Herefords overwinter in airy barns. Come spring, the mothers and their calves are turned out on the rich pastures surrounding our showrooms. The meat from these magnificent beasts is always front and centre of our menus, from delicious burgers to hearty pies and full-of-flavour summer salads.
