Summer dining at Champneys
A Taste of Serenity: Discover the Wonder of Summer on a Plate
There’s something truly magical about summer – the warmth, the gentle hum of nature, the simple joy of savouring moments. At Champneys, summer isn’t just a season; it’s an invitation to indulge in a sensory journey where every meal is a celebration of serenity, wellness and flavour. For over 100 years, we’ve been creating culinary experiences that go beyond simply pleasing the palate they nourish the mind, body and soul.
Gardenia: Nourishment for the Senses
Step into Gardenia at Eastwell Manor and discover a serene retreat where every dish offers a moment of calm – a mindful interlude from the rush of daily life. Our chefs thoughtfully craft each plate using fresh, seasonal, farm-to-table ingredients, creating flavours that mirror the tranquillity of the setting. Imagine tender lemon sole or garden herb polenta infused with honey harvested from our very own Manor bees – the true taste of summer’s sweetness.
Little Bites, Big Moments
A summer at Champneys without Afternoon Tea? Perish the thought. Available at all six resorts, it’s a laid-back take on elegance – think light finger sandwiches, warm scones with clotted cream and jam, and a line-up of delicate pastries that look as good as they taste. Served in peaceful surroundings, it’s the perfect excuse to slow down, savour the moment and spend time with those who matter the most.
Picnic in peace
If you’re craving time in the open air, our poised picnics at Eastwell Manor offer the perfect chance to press pause and enjoy the moment. Picture yourself lazing in your own private picnic spot, stretched out on a soft blanket with a basket full of comforting favourites – from chunky doorstop sandwiches and golden sausage rolls to buttery scones and local strawberries with cream.
Timeless Flavors with a Fresh Twist
At Champneys, summer dining is all about fresh, seasonal flavours that feel like a breath of fresh air. Our Salt Cod Brandade is rich and creamy, balanced perfectly with a tangy shallot dressing and crunchy croustini.
The pappardelle with seafood brings together juicy prawns, mussels, and calamari in a comforting tomato bisque, delivering a true taste of the sea.
And for a light finish, the Champneys Fruit Plate features a colourful mix of melon, pineapple, berries, and seasonal fruit with a refreshing sorbet – a simple, sweet way to round off your meal.
Together, these dishes capture the easy, bright spirit of summer.
Your Summer, Your Calm
At Champneys, we see summer dining as more than just a meal - it’s a full sensory experience that refreshes your mind, grounds you in the moment and restores your energy. Across our six resorts, every menu is thoughtfully designed to reflect this, combining seasonal ingredients with mindful cooking.
This summer, come and savour the calm we’ve crafted just for you.
