Food & Drink
We are located in an area that is fast gaining a reputation as one of the best destinations for food and drink in the country. There are many excellent options for dining near New House Farm and there are also plenty of suppliers and shops close by to pick up the highest quality produce and ingredients. There are excellent kitchen and dining facilities in the barn for large groups, dedicated barbecue areas and firepits outside, and – most importantly – in each suite there is a fully fitted, high spec kitchen, giving any group staying here many options to cook for themselves, or to be cooked for. We’ve listed some details on local food & drink below, and a visit here would not be complete without going out to discover a new farm shop, pub or café for yourself.
