Brunch in the orangery

The Forest is best explored on a full stomach!

There’s a particular kind of morning that the Forest of Dean does better than anywhere; slow, quiet, full of possibility. Whether you’ve just woken up in one of our rooms, arrived early for a walk, or simply decided that today calls for something better than toast at home, The Orangery is ready for you.

Brunch here is proper: freshly cooked dishes made with ingredients we know and trust, James Gourmet coffee, a wide selection of teas, and enough on the menu to keep everyone happy. From those who want something light to those who want to set themselves up for a serious day in the forest.

Served every day. No rush. Walk-ins always welcome.
