About
New summer menu now available
Looking out over the iconic Dry Garden and rolling Essex countryside, the Gardeners Rest restaurant is a great place to enjoy fresh, seasonal produce, much of which will be straight from the Global Growth Vegetable Garden. And if the weather is fine, grab yourself a seat on the terrace where you can look out across to the Hilltop Garden pond.
