Eating and drinking at Lyveden

The Manor Café

The café, which opened in July 2021, is housed in the Grade I-listed manor house, offering indoor seating for around 40 people.

The colour scheme takes inspiration from Sir Thomas Tresham himself. Original accounts from the 16th century show he purchased a range of paint pigments for his building work including yellows, greens and reds.

Historical research shows that Elizabethans used colour symbolically to represent their wealth and status, as well as religious faith. 

Lyveden's seasonal menu 

The café offers a range of dishes, including light meals, sandwiches, homemade cakes and drinks. You can also try one of the local, seasonal recipes inspired by Lyveden, including sugar plum muffins and the autumnal treat of catshead crumble cake which uses catshead apples from the Lyveden orchard.
