Food at Tewinbury
Our food offering is a very important part of Tewinbury Farm Hotel. Our main food led outlets are the Granary Kitchen and the Cowshed Restaurant, each of these has its own uniquely crafted seasonally changing menu, distinctly different from one another. We also have beautiful event spaces for weddings and private and corporate events with menus to match. In addition, we have our own state of the art cookery school and kitchen garden, providing seasonal fruit and vegetables which feature heavily on our menus.
