Enjoy local, seasonal produce in beautiful surroundings

The Orangery serves locally sourced dishes throughout the day, including delicious breakfasts, a seasonal lunch menu and luxury afternoon teas. 

The elegant interiors of the 18th century Orangery are light and airy with huge windows overlooking the beautiful Rose Garden. The outdoor seating area amongst the roses and lavender is a stunning spot to dine on a sunny day.

We offer gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian options as well as a special Children's Menu.

We are delighted to work in partnership with Absolute Taste to provide our catering. They showcase the best of Burghley Estate and local produce in the The Orangery menu.
