FULL TERMS & CONDITIONS

Please note Restaurant Interlude only opens at 12:30 for lunch and 18:00 for dinner. 

Should you wish to join us for a drink in the bar, we invite you to do so between 12:30 - 13:00 for lunch 18:00 and 18:30 for dinner.  
Guests who arrive afterwards will be shown to their table in the dining room. 

We aim to seat all our guests in the restaurant between 18:45 and 19:00, to allow sufficient time for the full experience, we recommend allowing 3-4 hours for this. We strongly advise pre-booking your transport/taxi to avoid disappointment on the night. 

We are a cash-free restaurant and only accept card payments. 

All guests will enjoy our Estate Experience Menu. Our multiple course, surprise tasting menu draws inspiration from our listed gardens, produce grown in Restaurant Interlude’s own vegetable gardens or surrounding land, and by local farmers where organic principles are employed.
