De Vere is on a journey. The collection of country estate hotels and modern exec centres across the UK are undergoing a multimillion pound restoration and investment programme. From the individual restaurants and bars to the architectural design, landscaping and meeting room technology. Following this transformation, the full launch will follow in 2022. Although the destination is yet to come, the journey is well underway.
We have brilliant menus across our restaurant and bars, which use a rich mix of fresh, seasonal food. Executive Chefs and their property brigades are able to be innovative by creating daily specials.
In all of our restaurants our Executive Chefs create with their brigade, deliver healthy food through balanced seasonal menus that reflect the local market and meet the needs of our customers. Whether they are looking for a favourite burger, comforting Gloucestershire Old Spot sausages or perhaps to try our “Catch of the Day” we can provide all of these in our fully equipped kitchens.
