Our Food & Beverage Service Manager, Nick Caulford has joined our team with experience in service and in the kitchen. Heidi McKnight continues to greet and serve guests in the HEARTHSIDE Dining Room, WILD BLUE YONDER PUB or at a wedding/banquet. Visit our outdoor Patio for tastings and tapas. We are committed to featuring local producers as well as our our own Black Angus beef, turkeys and ducks, free-range chicken eggs, local cheese and produce from our own garden.

“Desserts leave a lasting impression on our guests…my challenge is to make dessert tasty and healthy. I have been experimenting with Red Fife Wheat in my baking…we are now growing our own on site, which is only fitting as it was developed nearby.”
