A NEW KITCHEN GARDEN BRINGS HOME GROWN PRODUCE

We are delighted to announce a new Kitchen Garden in collaboration with renowned horticulturist Richard Vine.

HOW IT BEGAN:

Lucknam have renovated the old Vinery, a historic greenhouse, where we have grown an eclectic range of micro salads and herbs. The newly built 8 large raised beds, filled with over 120 tons of top soil, will have over 30 varieties of produce, ranging from alpine strawberries, rhubarb through to runner and broad beans; from edible flowers to root and brassica crops.

ABOUT:

Richard Vine, who recently featured on Raymond Blanc’s Kitchen Secrets, comes from a farming and science background, but a chance meeting with a chef inspired him to take a horticultural path. Creating a unique fusion between the culinary world and that of the gardener, he now gardens with a chef’s eye.

Michelin Starred Executive Chef, Hywel Jones, will work closely with Richard Vine to choose seasonal produce for his menus in The Park restaurant and The Brasserie.

PRODUCE:

Seasonal produce from the kitchen garden is shown regularly to Hywel so the kitchen is updated as to what is available. This then enables the Kitchen to have produce when it is optimum size, freshness is never an issue as from garden to kitchen is just minutes away. Garden produce is increasingly picked last minute and for specific menus.
