Dining at Orchardleigh
As one of regions finest wedding venues, we pride ourselves on serving only the finest quality food.
Wherever possible we supply our kitchen with produce that is grown or reared on the estate or sourced within the local area. We work closely with local farmers, gamekeepers and nurseries to ensure superb quality.
We offer a selection of delicious menus to tempt your taste buds or our Executive Head Chef will work with you to carefully design the perfect menu for your big day.
Meat
Meat
Our Beef comes from Estate reared Aberdeen Angus and is hung for 28 days before being served as we believe this is the only way to enjoy top quality Aberdeen Angus beef. Pork is from our herd of Saddleback sows and Pietriene boar. This cross gives a beautiful flavour and is much leaner, the bacon, sausages and ham are all absolutely delicious. Our lamb is from our flock of Shetland cross sheep. It is said that the further north the breed the better the flavour, and it is!!
Eggs and Vegetables
Our Eggs are from Black Rock Chickens beautiful tasting eggs with large, deep yellow yolks. We will soon be growing almost all the English vegetables. These include potatoes, parsnips, cabbages, cauliflower, runner beans, onions, carrots. Homegrown vegetables taste completely different from those sold in the supermarkets!
Bread
Our bread comes from a local bakery and is baked and delivered fresh every morning.
Cheese & Preserves
Our cheese comes from a local merchant and is not served until it is mature, so important for cheeses like Stilton and Brie. Our preserves, jams, marmalades and chutneys are all home produced.
Fruit
We have our own apple orchard which produces beautiful eating and cooking apples. Soon we will be producing raspberries, strawberries, gooseberries and blackberries.
Fish
Our fish comes mainly from Brixham and is fresh, our kippers are oak smoked for 7 days and come from the Isle of Man-taste the difference!! If you would like Kippers for breakfast these will need to be pre-ordered no additional cost.
