Let proprietor William Cartwright-Hignett and our team welcome you to the restaurant where talented Head Chef Matthew Briddon and his team will brighten your table with a feast of homemade dishes to enjoy, using only the best, top-quality, sustainable and local produce.

Much of the food served is grown, reared or foraged from across the Iford Manor Estate. Our integrative approach linking into our farm and walled garden creates an understanding of growing, rearing, preparation and realisation of food, so our chefs gain a deeper understanding of terroir, flavour and what it takes to create excellent dishes direct from farm to fork. Make sure to try our Iford Beef and Iford Lamb, grazed on our farm in the Iford Valley with the lowest possible food miles.

Kitchen waste is minimised with our nose to tail; leaf to root approach. The natural season is extended through fermentation and pickling to ensure flavoursome, local dishes throughout the year. Each dish is prepared just for you. We make our own charcuterie in-house (sulphite and nitrite free), cure meat, have our own bakery, make our pasta, sauces and more.

The wood-fired Bertha oven, using wood from our woodlands, adds even more flavour to food carefully cooked over the fire.

We think you can really taste the difference and we hope you will agree.

As with anything at Iford, this is not an experience to be rushed. Relax in beautiful surroundings, whilst treating yourself to delectable, home-made dishes.

Each restaurant dish is made from scratch, specifically to order, and you can taste the difference.
