This cluster of portal barns and decrepit farm buildings was about to fall down when our clients first contacted us looking to start a farm restaurant and shop to sell their own organic produce and rare breed cattle and sheep. The proposal looked to facilitate a modern standard of restaurant without losing its agricultural heritage. Maximising its 270-degree views while minimising light spill and regulating solar gain.

The scheme holds:

A large Café/Restaurant/Deli

A large Market/Event Hall

Areas for the dry storage of meat

A large new garden and parking

Opening January 2023
