The Dining Rooms

Merewood has two dining rooms, the Green Room and the Lonsdale Suite, in which we offer imaginative Country House cuisine.

Menus are changed daily and are based on fresh local produce and on herbs from our own herb garden.

Also, there is an extensive wine list drawing on a well stocked cellar.
