At Burleigh Court, they’re serious about sustainability, integrating eco-conscious practices throughout their operations, particularly within the acclaimed culinary offerings. Central to this commitment is the hotel’s thriving kitchen garden, affectionately known as the “chef’s garden,” which plays a pivotal role in delivering fresh, high-quality produce directly to the restaurant’s kitchen.

In harmony with the seasons

Located at the lower end of the estate, this meticulously designed garden supplies ingredients in harmony with the seasons. Burleigh Court’s chef consistently prioritises locally sourced, delicious seasonal ingredients for the menus, embodying the highly favoured “garden to plate” philosophy. This culinary concept champions the use of freshly harvested ingredients, ensuring that the team can grow and pick produce daily, guaranteeing unparalleled freshness and flavour in every dish. The Head Chef maintains direct control over the ingredients, allowing for a uniquely seasonal dining experience bursting with natural taste and quality. Crucially, all produce grown in the garden is organic, and cultivated without the use of chemicals or pesticides.

Beyond enhancing flavour, the kitchen garden significantly promotes sustainability by reducing food waste—as only what is needed is harvested—and by championing the use of local resources.

Dedication to the environment

Further cementing its dedication to environmental stewardship, Burleigh Court is home to the “Burleigh Bees.” Three beehives are carefully maintained on-site, offering guests the opportunity to observe these wonderful, industrious insects as they busily go about their daily task of making honey.

The bees benefit from fantastic access to the hotel’s gardens and miles of surrounding countryside, allowing them to gather a wide variety of pollen and nectar. This diverse forage contributes to the truly delicious taste of their honey, which is bottled and available for purchase at the reception, offering guests a sweet taste of Burleigh Court’s natural goodness.
