Known for their delicious estate-grown produce and locally sourced fayre, prepared to optimise the fresh flavours of the ingredients, The Devonshire Group have come to the rescue until they can welcome you back to their hotels and restaurants.
The Duchess-approved Festive Recipe Boxes allow you to dine with aristocratic taste and style over the holidays. With all the ingredients ready to go and easy-to-follow recipes, you will find all you need to prepare an impressive feast, with optional delights to add the finishing touches, for two people.
Festive themed boxes with all you need for a four-course Christmas Day Celebration (costs £100 per box) includes House Salmon Gravlax, Yorkshire Game Terrine, Roast Turkey and all the trimmings, and a three-course menu for New Year’s Eve (cost £110) with menu highlights including Lobster Cocktail and Beef Wellington.
To complement each occasion, there’s an enticing selection of mouth- watering optional nibbles and drinks, including smoked salmon canapés, an artisan cheese board, Champagne jellies or classic cocktails, with which to welcome in the new year. The Festive boxes are now available to order; you can even have a branded apron for the Chef to give that final touch of finesse!
Once again in January our popular three-course weekend recipe boxes for two are available; there are three mouth-watering dishes to choose from for each course, created by Head Chef, Ross Forder, including a vegetarian menu.

Dishes include house-cured salmon, with gin and botanicals, horseradish & buttermilk, pickled vegetables and vanilla syrup; followed by roasted salt aged sirloin of beef with Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, glazed carrots, braised red cabbage, spiced pumpkin, truffled cauliflower cheese & red wine jus and for dessert, sticky toffee pudding, vanilla custard.
