Country House Dining

The countryside around Blandford is home to some of Dorset’s most beautiful private properties — farmhouses, manor houses, and converted barns that lend themselves perfectly to entertaining. Large kitchens, generous dining rooms, and that sense of occasion that comes naturally in a rural Dorset setting.

We cook for families celebrating milestones, groups of friends on weekend getaways, and couples who want an intimate evening of exceptional food without driving to a restaurant. Private dining starts from £70 per person.

The Dorset Larder

Blandford’s position in the heart of Dorset gives us access to an extraordinary range of local produce. The Blackmore Vale is one of England’s great dairy regions — Dorset Blue Vinny, farmhouse butter, and artisan cream. The Cranborne Chase estates provide outstanding game. Combined with our regular suppliers — day-boat fish from Poole, organic vegetables from Ringwood, fully traceable meat from Fordingbridge — the result is a menu rooted in this landscape.

Weddings & Celebrations

The Blandford area offers stunning settings for weddings and celebrations — from the grand grounds at Bryanston to intimate village halls and private gardens throughout the Stour Valley. We work closely with couples to design a menu that reflects the setting and the occasion.
