Fine Dining at the Castle

Thornbury Castle is renowned for its many traditional English favourites as well as the exceptional Sunday roasts. The cheeseboard is exclusively British too but you'll also find plenty of modern, internationally-inspired dishes on the menu.

Thornbury Castle has always been renowned for its fine food and is the recipient of many prestigious awards. Our Head Chef changes the lunch menu on a daily basis enabling him to incorporate the freshest seasonal produce.

All dishes on our lunch and dinner menu use only the finest and freshest ingredients, sourced from local markets and suppliers wherever possible. We grow our own herbs on the premises and a quantity of vegetables such as courgette flowers and cherry tomatoes.

The Tower Dining Room
A unique, hexagonal room with large, imposing arrow-slit windows and magnificent open fireplace. This room has great character and makes for an unforgettable castle dining experience. It can seat a maximum of 30 persons.

Incidentally, there are five chamber pot recesses in the Tower Dining Room. Many years ago, when the ladies left the room to retire to their sewing, to talk about Henry’s latest wife or to do whatever ladies did in those days, the men would stay behind and discuss the business of the day. However, they knew that if one of them left the room to go to relieve himself, he would be talked about by the others. So, to avoid this, they had chamber pots hidden in the recesses so they could use them as and when required!

Private Dining
Overlooking the vineyard and courtyard, the Baron’s Sitting Room, with handsome wooden panelling and a wonderful open fireplace, provides the most perfect environment for a private party. Majestic and secluded, the atmosphere of this room contributes greatly to the success of a private lunch or dinner, be it family, friends or business.

However, for smaller private occasions, the more intimate and exclusive Oriel Dining Room might be preferable.

Thornbury Castle has three dining rooms, each one with its own unique charm and ambience. They are all baronial in style with panelled walls, heraldic shields and open fires.
