Occupying the manor's original dining hall — all dark timber, candlelight, and the particular silence of a room that takes its meals seriously.

Breakfast through to Evening Dinner

Named for the finest catch in Sri Lankan waters, The King Prawn Restaurant occupies the manor's original dining hall — all dark timber, candlelight, and the particular silence of a room that takes its meals seriously.

Our kitchen draws from the island's larder with intelligence and restraint: locally sourced highland vegetables, estate-grown herbs, and sustainable seafood from the southern coast.

Morning

Full English Breakfast

Laid out each morning in the manner it was always intended — unhurried, generous, complete.

Afternoon

High Tea on the Lawn

Finger sandwiches, warm scones, and Ceylon's finest teas served on the garden terrace.

Evening

Dinner by Candlelight

À la carte dining with a menu that honours both island produce and British culinary tradition.

Weekend

Sunday Roast

A proper Sunday lunch, served in the dining room with all appropriate ceremony.

High Tea on the Lawn

A Glendower Tradition

High Tea on the Lawn

""A properly brewed pot of Ceylon, the garden in full colour, and the day's unhurried last hour before the mist descends."

Every afternoon, as the shadows lengthen across the rose garden, tea is laid on the lawn with a quiet precision that has changed little since the house was first opened.

Available daily from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Advance reservation recommended for weekend service.
