Christmas at The Creamery
With the festive season in sight, chefs are adding final flourishes to seasonal party menus. Groups of 6 to 50 can expect stuffed turkey with all the trimmings, chalk stream trout, five root wellington and traditional Christmas pudding gracing plates from 17 November.
We’ll play host to festive celebrations and get-togethers at lunch and dinner, available right through to 23 December.
The Winter Garden
Inspired by Victorian plant hunters and their collections, the Winter Garden enshrines unfolding displays of exotic ferns, orchids, succulents and tropical fruit trees. It is also a verdant location for a botanically themed soirée. The Winter Garden can host up to 50 people for drinks and canapés, making it ideal for small informal gatherings and events.
The Farmyard
Just beyond the cyder orchards, half a mile from Hadspen as the crow flies, this former dairy farm is a place to spread out and lean back, cheek-to-rosy-cheek with grazing livestock and sheltering oaks. Original farm buildings, with a delightfully golden patina, are home to 17 rooms, a pool, bar, snug and all-day kitchen. Drinks are served at the Garner Bar, while bikes and buggies provide ample opportunity for pootling over to the gardens and spa at Hadspen. This hidden gem is the ultimate location for a celebration or country escape with friends and family.
Perfect Pitch
Enjoy the gardens from a secret spot or take a turn with friends and family after hours. Discover the perfect pitch to watch the sun set over the gardens, with a plate of something delicious. Summer salads plucked fresh from the veg plot and a speciality BBQ prepared over woodfire by our talented chefs. We can host a summer picnic for up to 40 people in our secret spot, or if you book after hours we can host up to 130 people in the garden.
