About the Café


Whether you’re craving a hearty breakfast, a light lunch, or simply a drink and a snack, stop off, tuck in and chill out.

Eat, drink, enjoy

Sit outside and enjoy the stunning views of our walled nursery garden, or hunker down indoors for some cosy winter dining. Whatever the weather, our café is truly gorgeous... if we say so ourselves.

Tuck into a delicious breakfast, lunch or snack from our menu crafted with the highest quality fresh, seasonal ingredients. All sourced from our own farm and local suppliers where possible.

Cool off or cosy up with a refreshing cold or hot drink, taking in views of the incredible Hampshire countryside. 

If you visit us in the spring or summer, you’ll love heading into our bright, oak-beamed airy café, before pulling up a sunny seat outside. In autumn and winter, we fire up our log-burning stove for cosy and comforting indoor dining. Whenever you visit us, relax – our Partners are here to look after you.

The team

Our café Partners are proud to be part of The Waitrose & Partners farm, the team know what it takes to produce the very best food and they know just how important it is to make good food taste great! They strive to make every customer happy with great service and a menu full of delicious food. 

Our cakes and biscuits, baked fresh daily are not to be missed. Made with our own Leckford Flour, from wheat grown on our farm, these decadent desserts are enough alone to bring you back to our estate time and time again! 

Sit back and relax and let our team cook up a foodie favourite from our seasonal menu. 

The history

Our café began as a small nursery tea room, where local volunteers served tea and homemade cake to visitors to the Water Garden.

Now an established culinary destination, our setting features a handsome oak-framed dining space and plenty of outdoor seating for relaxed alfresco meals. Whether you join us for a cosy meal inside or dine outside on the terrace, you will find generous seating and a menu rooted in the surrounding land. We remain dedicated to serving food that is locally grown, beautifully in season and prepared with pride by our café Partners.
