Fresh perspective, classic recipes

We serve every drink with a side of history. Always sourced from local and seasonal ingredients, our signature cocktails tell stories of the rich history of the house. Past drinks have included The Figaroni, naturally sweetened with honey from bees in our gardens, honey being a great favourite of Elizabeth I who spent her youth at Ashridge House. Menus change regularly to reflect seasonal ingredients.
