At Pythouse Kitchen Garden, you'll find an idyllic atmosphere in which to enjoy fantastic food. We offer covered outdoor seating in our glorious garden and indoor seating in the conservatory and potting shed. Pythouse Kitchen Garden is a lunchtime destination only at present.

We are keen to champion our own produce first and foremost, providing guests with a unique and ever-changing insight into the seasons. We work closely with the garden team to manage and maintain the garden and to deliver a programme of regeneration and sustainability.

Excellent starter and main courses. Good variety on the menu, including interesting vegetarian options. Good quality food that’s skilfully cooked. Staff friendly and attentive. Separately dining area is set apart from the bar area and it would be nice to feel a bit closer to the cheer and warmth of an open fire in the depth of winter.

One of the tastiest meals I’ve had in a long time. Food is incredible!! First time visiting and everything we had was amazing! It is a bit echoey in the back area but all of the food dock restaurants are the same at the back. I only mention it as I have a problem with my hearing.

Booked a table for New Year’s Day with husband. I’m a lover of good food. Not fancy food, just good food. The service was prompt and friendly. The food was exceptional. The cook knows how to cook. I had just a simple fish and chips. This is a funny dish, sounds so basic yet easy to get wrong. The batter was light and crispy, the fish was fleshly and fresh tasting. The chips were skin on and perfect. Husband had a char grilled burger which he really liked. I highly recommend a visit. My only wish was that one of the fires had been lit but that is asking too much of staff on New Years Day. Maybe next time.
