Fresh organic food

Good food is an integral part of the Sheepdrove Eco Conference Centre experience. All of the meals we serve to delegates are prepared using fresh, seasonal and organic produce direct from the farm and our gardens - vegetables are picked and delivered daily by our gardeners.

Our inspiring, nourishing cuisine sets us apart from other conference venues and feedback from delegates is always overwhelmingly positive - 'when can we come back?' is heard on a regular basis!

The Dining Room is centred around a spectacular spiral staircase which encloses the wood-fired bread oven. Delegates can dine downstairs, where they can see their lunch cooked in the gleaming open kitchen, or in the Upper Dining Room which offers superb views across the countryside.

Doors open onto the tree-lined courtyard or the Physic Garden, perfect for alfresco dining or refreshment. The licensed organic bar offers a selection of fruity red wines, crisp white wines, bottled ales, lagers and beers and a range of refreshing soft drinks.

Our red wine is from Le Domaine des Savarines, a small biodynamic vineyard in South West France owned by Peter and Juliet Kindersley’s daughter Rosie and her French husband and chef Eric Treuillé.

Seasonal Food

Menus reflect the changing seasons and it is wonderful to be able to offer you the very latest seasonal vegetables and fruit from Sheepdrove's orchards and gardens.

Our produce is so fresh that we usually confirm conference menus no more than two weeks in advance. It is important that you confirm numbers and special dietary requirements no later than one week before your event. We are able to cater for any special dietary needs!

Farmhouse Lunch

Delegates are served delicious, organic seasonal food which they can eat at our oak farmhouse tables in the Dining Room.

Dinner

We are often asked to provide dinners after meetings and conferences, or just cater for a private celebration! A sizzling hog roast or barbecue is a perfect outdoor feast just right for the summer months, or for autumn and winter catering we make good use of the abundant garden vegetables and more unusual, traditional meats such as Sheepdrove organic mutton.

Delicious, nutritious breakfasts

In addition to lunches and dinners, we can also provide delicious, filling breakfasts (prebooking required) - delegates are treated to bacon rolls, made with organic Sheepdrove bacon and fresh rolls baked that morning; we also bake delicious muffins.

A more substantial start to the day is our 'Breakfast On The Run' - portable morning food to jump-start the day comprising Sheepdrove bacon and sausages, scrambled egg served on homemade farmhouse rolls, muffins, orchard fruit basket when in season, fruit juice, tea and coffee.
