Whether it’s brunch or an indulgent late afternoon tea, enjoy it in our woodland setting. With local produce—such as offerings from the butcher—and homemade cakes, paired with delicious hot drinks or creamy milkshakes, it’s truly a foodie’s dream. Take a moment away from the forge and unwind in our games room, complete with pool, darts, and the option to gather around a cozy campfire. It’s the perfect blend of relaxation and fun, made even more special by the beautiful grounds that surround you.

A t-shirt (with a jumper in winter) is preferred, no flammable tops such as lycra are allowed to be worn. Jeans or trousers are recommended to be worn. No vests or crop-tops where skin is exposed is advised. No loose cuffs or torn clothing are to be worn, as these can act as a snagging hazard. Shorts or skirts are also not permitted. Overalls can be worn, however, leather aprons are preferred and provided.

 

If you have steel toe capped boots or supportive footwear then this is preferred. For examples; trainers, ankle boots, walking boots. Open toe shoes or trousers tucked into boots are not allowed.

We do ask for long hair must be tied back and to remove rings, watches or bracelets in the workshop as these pose a snagging hazard.
