Experiences Calendar

Set within 15 acres of rural Devon, our farm-to-table restaurant is shaped by the land, the seasons and the craft of cooking.

Our kitchen garden shapes our menus daily, supplying vegetables, fruit and herbs grown to organic principles — without synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilisers. When the garden is abundant, we preserve the surplus through pickling, fermenting and drying to carry the flavours of each season through the year.

We rear our own Lop pigs and take a full nose-to-tail approach: bones for stock, skins in sausages, offal for pâtés and terrines. Our salumi — hams, sausages and more — is all made in-house.

The East Devon countryside is also a plentiful larder. Wild garlic buds are transformed into capers, elderflower blossoms infused into cordials and green walnuts pickled. What we don’t grow raise or pick ourselves, we source from nearby producers who share our values and who we know are just as passionate about good food and great produce as we are. You can find a list of some of our favourite producers below.

Craft and low-waste cooking

We make as much as we can in-house — from naturally leavened bread, cultured butter, and yoghurt to preserves, pickles, and charcuterie. This approach supports flavour, reduces waste, and avoids excess packaging. Deliveries are less frequent, and ingredients arrive in reusable or minimal packaging — such as milk in returnable glass bottles and whole carcasses delivered plastic-free.All food and green waste is composted on-site using a Ridan hot composter, producing around 10 tonnes of nutrient-rich compost each year — returned to the garden to nourish the soil.We are proud members of the Slow Food movement, and our kitchen reflects its principles: food that is good, clean, and fair — for producers, for eaters, and for the environment. Craft cooking is at the heart of Glebe House. Fewer steps between producer and plate means more connection, more care, and less waste.

Considered drinks

Our drinks list follows the same principles as our food — thoughtful sourcing, low intervention and a connection to place. We focus on small-scale vineyards across Europe (pictured below is Castlewood Vineyard in Musbury), many following organic and biodynamic principles, alongside passionate local producers crafting excellent ciders, wines, and spirits in the South West. We also make our own cordials, infusions, and run an established kombucha programme, which gives new life to surplus fruits and herbs from the garden — offering refreshing, house-made alternatives with minimal waste.

Seasonality and stewardship

Our menus reflect what’s in season, here and now. When we do source from further afield, it’s only ingredients in season elsewhere — never air-freighted or overly processed. Sustainability is an ongoing process. But with every decision — from how we grow and cook to how we compost and source drinks — we aim to care for the land and reduce our footprint, while serving food and drink that’s honest and rooted in place.
