Food & Drink

Food and drink go to the heart of what we do at Elmore Court. We put a great deal of thought and care into our menus, designing them in a way that means we can deliver at the highest level.

We’re deeply committed to sustainability and that principle is reflected in everything we do in our kitchens, gardens and fields. It also shapes our relationships with suppliers and the way we source our ingredients. Our goal is to provide seasonal, sustainable and delicious food and drink for your wedding day or event.

At Elmore Court, we have our own professional kitchens and a talented culinary team. Their experience, skill and passion for delivering consistently excellent food is a wonderful thing to behold.

Creating unforgettable dining experiences for your wedding or event, our chefs specialise in fresh, locally sourced dishes, with many ingredients grown right here on the estate. From seasonal menus to bespoke wedding breakfasts and private feasts, the team ensures every meal reflects the quality, creativity and warmth for which Elmore Court is famous.

Of course, you’re free to bring your own caterers. But our exceptional, local and sustainable dishes are pretty hard to beat! And as part of the bespoke Elmore experience, our menus are neither fixed nor final. Our chefs love to go ‘off-piste’, so if you’d like to see alternative ideas and options, just ask!

An ever-increasing amount of our vegetables, fruit and herbs are grown onsite in our Walled Garden and Greenhouse and across the wider estate. Our gardeners and growers are deeply skilled and knowledgeable, helping us produce tasty, homegrown ingredients for our kitchens. 

It’s part of our effort to minimise the journey from field to fork and make our food experience fully sustainable. For example, with the introduction of Longhorn cattle to our rewilding land, we’re able to serve free-roaming, hyper pasture-fed beef for our roasts, barbecues and feasts. We also use flour from Wildfarmed, which is milled from grain grown here on the estate, to make our own bread.

Elmore Court’s fully serviced bar, located in The Gillyflower, is stocked with a wide range of beers, wines and spirits. It’s up to you how you use it – as a paying bar or a free bar. Either way, we have experienced staff to serve you whatever you like, including cocktails delivered with a theatrical flourish! We can also order in any special requests – such as barrels of ale or rare vodkas.

Like our house and grounds, our bar is your bar for the duration of your stay.

We also have a smaller bar in the drawing room of the main house, where guests can keep the party going after hours or have a cheeky nightcap before bed.

The cellars at Elmore Court are the oldest part of the house and have been in use for nearly 750 years, which perhaps tells you something about our ancestors’ priorities!

Like our predecessors, we believe good food demands good wine. Stocked to the rafters, our cellars boast a large selection of wines to suit all tastes, menus and budgets. And we sell it at prices you’ll find at the majority of wine merchants.
