La Casa Verde Restaurant

The best food is often the simplest and the freshest, produced with care and generosity. La Casa Verde serves just this, and with style and spirit of Italian al fresco dining.

This is the place where you can sit on a balcony and relax with friends, drink a glass of wine or cup of coffee whilst eating a delicious lunch or even a afternoon tea – what could be nicer?

La Casa Verde dishes are seasonal using fruit and vegetables picked from our organic kitchen garden, which can be found at the bottom end of the nursery.

Cakes and Scones freshly made daily.
