Visitors to The Garden Room apreciate the peaceful atmosphere that the out of town setting provides. If time allows, the purposely built paths that border the wildflower meadows ( one of which finishes at the pub!) can provide a useful, relaxed period within a busy schedule. At this time of year the walks are bursting with life. The hedges are filling out with an abundance of green shoots or pretty blossoms. Many new  plants infill gaps within established hedges and 2 field boundary hedges have been reinstated. The wild flower meadows, although not yet in flower are beginning to green and grow. Walkers are now asked to keep to paths and leave the field undisturbed for the ground nesting birds. Here at Messuage Farm bird life has increased over the past 5 years, as part of the scheme we have erected 40 nest boxes that can be viewed from the paths. There are special feeding stations for Tree sparrows, and the RSPB have put up additional nest boxes and 2 barn owl boxes. Plenty of bird life can be spotted, Reed buntings, Gold finches, Yellow wagtails and recently the beautiful song of the Sky lark could be heard.

The majority of conferences / training days held at The Garden Room continue throughout the day. Concentration can make many a stomach rumble! We provide a variety of catering options. Some choose to take advantage of our well equipped kitchen, situated conveniently adjacent to the main meeting room, providing excellent self catering facilities. The kitchen houses a cooker, refridgerator, water heater and ample crockery and cutlery for 30 visitors.

 The Garden Room has a good relationship with an excellent catering team, whom we often call upon to provide lunches for our visitors. They can offer a superb variety of menus, hot or cold buffets, homemade cakes (delicious!) or fresh fruit. The food is always freshly made, in plentiful supply and frequently praised.

As the local Public house /restaurant is only a 10 minute stroll via one of our conservation walks, we can pre book tables on request. Occasionally visitors like the opportunity to have a change of scenery and a walk to the pub is an ideal relaxation point.

Throughout the day Claire can be on hand to serve tea and coffee (plus a supply of freshly homebaked biscuits!)

The choices are there so that you can choose a catering option that fits in perfectly with your programme, and so that we can help in making your day at The Garden Room a success.  

We welcome you to The Garden Room. We are a family run business and The Garden Room is part of our farm diversification project. Approximately 5years ago we decided that arable farming on such a small scale equalled an uncertain future. The farm land has been reverted to wildflower rich meadows which can be enjoyed by those who choose to take advantage of the conservation walks. Originally a dairy farm, the redundant shippon has been converted to a fantastic venue for conferences, meetings and training days. The room is flooded with natural light, has a clean contemporary feel and modern facilities.

As we are a family run business, we can add that personal touch when required. Claire can be on site to serve refreshments throughout your visit. Catering and accommodation can be arranged to suit individual requirements.

We welcome any enquiries and encourage visits pior to booking as we feel The Garden Room ’speaks’ for itself.

Please contact Claire or Chris for furthur information and room hire costs: bookings@the-garden-room.co.uk
