If an Englishman’s home is his castle, then Thornbury Castle is yours to enjoy.

Whether you join friends for a lunch (prices from £18 for three courses), relax and indulge with a cream tea (prices from £10.50 per person) or have a key family event to celebrate, the castle's magnificent surroundings and excellent service make it a memorable experience.

Our Head Chef, Lee Heptinstall, offers you modern, internationally inspired dishes as well as traditional favourites such as our famous butterscotch pudding with butterscotch sauce, and succulent Sunday roasts with all of the trimmings. Our classic cheese trolley features some of the best British and Continental cheeses too.

All our dishes use the finest and freshest ingredients, sourced from local markets and suppliers wherever possible. We grow our own herbs on the estate, as well as vegetables such as courgette flowers and cherry tomatoes.

Our Restaurant Manager, Marco Mellace, has compiled a comprehensive wine list winning an Award for Excellence from the Wine Spectator, honouring our restaurant for having one of the most outstanding restaurant wine lists in the world.

Dining

Thornbury Castle has three dining rooms: the octagonal Tower Room adorned with portraits of past owners, the Baron’s Sitting Room which provides the majestic setting for a private party, and the more intimate and exclusive Oriel Dining Room.

The rooms are all baronial in style with panelled walls, heraldic shields and open fires, and each has its own unique charm and ambience.

Thornbury Castle Wine

There has been a vineyard within the castle walls for over 500 years, from which Thornbury Castle wine is still produced, to be served in our dining rooms.

The grape harvest takes place late September or early October, depending on the weather during the summer months.

Each year, Thornbury welcomes all-comers to participate in the grape picking. See the events calendar nearer the time for more details.
