About

Our kitchen gardens sit adjacent to the Southrop Manor water meadows of the River Leach. With its rich alluvial soils, it is the perfect place for our ever evolving kitchen gardens. Productive all year round with poly tunnels to extend the seasons, we grow a wide variety of heirloom varietals that give us inspiration for our menus and larder so we really do eat the seasons. With the ability to have produce on the plate that was growing just a few hundred meters away that morning we aim to be delivering an inspirational, sustainable and genuine experience. Our fields are home to rarebreed Cotswold & Welsh Black Mountain Sheep, our honey bees in the wild flower meadows, our poultry and pigs.

The Swan has a wonderful, recently renovated garden. Designed by Bunny Guinness, the two Cotswold stone courtyard gardens at The Swan provide very special seating areas. Planted with flowering hawthorns, roses, box hedging and a succession of bulbs and annuals they are exceptionally pretty spaces

The Blue Garden
With its own new outside bar, the Blue Garden is perfect for a relaxing drink and nibble or for lunches and dinners whenever the sun shines

The White Garden
This gorgeous little private courtyard seats up to 22 people and is available for private hire. It has a fabulous sail canopy that shades you and will also protect you from light showers, makes it a very special place for a private celebration. Soon to be added - a fireplace and barbeque 

The Swan also has its own skittle alley.
Yes, you can play skittles, but this is an elegant room with antique French chandeliers. It provides a wonderful space for up to 26 people seated or up to 50 for a drinks reception. Its large French windows open on to the Blue Garden, so if the weather permits, spill out through the doors and enjoy the sunshine and the outside bar
