A Farm-to-Table Restaurant in the Heart of East Devon
A Kitchen Led by the Land & The Seasons
Awarded a Michelin Green Star, seasonal menus shaped by the land, the kitchen garden, and the Devon countryside.
The Restaurant & Kitchen
The food at Glebe House is heavily inspired by the country cooking of Italy and France, while remaining deeply rooted in East Devon and the surrounding landscape. Taking pride in our true farm-to-table approach, we cook with what we grow, rear and gather.
Our Head Chef, David Knapman, has honed his craft in some of the world's most respected kitchens, including The Fat Duck and Maison Lameloise in Burgundy. We have a particular interest in artisan techniques, with a strong focus on nose-to-tail cookery and seasonality.
Awarded a Michelin Green Star
Glebe House is honoured to have been awarded a Michelin Green Star, recognising our ongoing commitment to sustainability, seasonality, ethical sourcing and craft-led cooking.
From our kitchen garden and nose-to-tail butchery to composting, considered drinks and close relationships with regional producers, every decision is guided by care for the land and the people who cultivate it.
Our Dining Options
Choose from our set seasonal menus and dining experience that celebrate the best of the season and the land. Available to all, all week.
Dietary Note:We also offer delicious alternatives for vegetarians, vegan and other dietary requirements, intolerances, and allergies.
Important Reservation Note: We highly recommend booking a table at room booking stage as we cannot always guarantee a table on restaurant nights.
Glebe House Dinner
Thursday-Saturday | £75
A regularly changing, fixed menu; composed of five courses and delicious extras. Designed according to the season's bounty this menu showcases the best of what we have in the garden and aging room as well as highlighting the exceptional meat, seafood and poultry of Devon.
Kitchen Supper
Monday-Wednesday | £45
A generous 3-course offering that features some Glebe House classics - often a pie, roast chicken and sides, or some local fish to share. All served with the bounty from our garden. This is elevated home cooking using exceptional ingredients. The meal begins with a seasonal starter and ends with a comforting pudding. Available Monday to Wednesday for both house guests and non-residents, and exclusively for house guests on Sunday evenings.
4-Course Kitchen Supper
(For House Guests only) - Friday | £55
Our 4-course supper menu features some favourite dishes which have become classics in the Glebe kitchen. Composed of a seasonal starter, a generous main, a Westcountry-focused cheese course, and a comforting pudding will always be an expression of the season. Our weekend offering is always designed to complement our Glebe House Dinner menu, featuring a different set of ingredients and cooking techniques.
Saturday Lunch
Three courses | £45
A slightly lighter offering, consisting of three courses - Starter, Main & Pudding - and optional snacks.
A lighter weekend lunch, perfect for a long, relaxed afternoon overlooking the garden.
Sunday Lunch
Four courses | £49
A similar format to the Glebe House Dinner consisting of four courses, but a more relaxed and paired back affair. Enjoy snacks outside or in the lounge, followed by seasonal antipasti selection, a generous main with sides finishing off with a classic Sunday pud.
Drinks At Glebe
Our drinks list reflects the same philosophy as our food - thoughtful sourcing and minimal intervention. Featuring cocktails, cordials and kombuchas made on site, our favourite local fizz, beers and ciders, alongside wines handpicked from local South West producers and small European vineyards following a similar ethos to us.
