Savour History in Every Bite at the Kitchen Garden

Discover the Charm of The Kitchen Garden at Berkeley Castle

Right behind the age-old walls of Berkely Castle, The Kitchen Garden is a tranquil retreat that promises peace and beauty in abundance. This delightful sanctuary, one of the finest examples of historic gardens here in the UK, is undergoing a thoughtful restoration to bring its traditional charm to the forefront once again.

A Taste of History

The garden, with its typical quadrangle layout, harks back to the days when walled kitchen gardens were the heart of a home’s fresh produce supply. We’re revitalising the ancient planting schemes here, including aromatic herbs like lavender and rosemary, not to mention a delightful array of fruit trees. You’ll notice peach trees basking in the sun against warm walls – it’s a little slice of paradise.

Fresh Flavours All Year Round

Savour a meal crafted from ingredients plucked just steps from your table. The Kitchen Garden Restaurant gives you farm-to-table dining with seasonal dishes that explode with natural flavours. Our dishes are a testament to the power of nature.

Relax and Recharge

After ambling the paths and relishing the radiant blooms, take some time to chill at our newly opened Visitor Centre and Kitchen Garden Restaurant. This space is designed for comfort, mingling the rich past of the garden with a fresh, warm atmosphere. Whether you’re dropping by for a bite or lingering over a drink, it’s an idyllic place to unravel and take in the serene views.

An Energetic, Living Museum

The Kitchen Garden is a living, breathing part of Berkeley Castle’s history – it’s always evolving. Every visit offers something new, maybe it’ll be the sight of the first blossoms on the fruit trees. Or perhaps the aromatic scent of fresh herbs. You’ll experience the life of a garden that feeds the body and soul.

The Kitchen Garden at Berkeley Castle brings history and modern culinary art together. Here, every visit enriches your senses and invites you to be a part of the garden’s timeless story.
