join us in the courtyard
The Courtyard is our Al Fresco dining experience in the heart of our Restaurant for walk-ins only.
Perfect for long, shared lunches, or a quick bite after a Tour, the Courtyard menu is centred around wood-fired cooking, including seasonally inspired pizzas and sides.
NEW for 2026: The Courtyard menu is now available at the Bar and on the Terrace, so you can enjoy the menu regardless of the British weather!
We can't wait for you to join us and indulge in casual sunny afternoons with us at the Estate.
The Courtyard is open for food and drink on a walk-ins only basis and is weather dependent. As the Courtyard is based outside with limited cover, it may be closed during inclement weather. The Courtyard menu will be available at the Bar & Terrace if closed due to the weather.
