Eating at Kedleston Hall

The Great Kitchen restaurant at Kedleston Hall serves hot and cold meals and drinks, as well as sandwiches and light snacks. Pop in for breakfast before your walk in the parkland and start the day with a bacon bap or garlic mushrooms on sourdough along with a chai steamer.

Wheelchair users wishing to access the restaurant can enter via the rear of the Hall as it is largely flat flag stones with uninterrupted access. There is outdoor seating (where dogs are welcome) on the front lawn as well as covered seating in the stableyard.

Lunches and snacks

We serve a range of hot and cold lunches from 12 noon onwards. Vegetarian and vegan options are always available, as well as freshly made sandwiches or lighter lunches.

There’s a 'pick and mix' style picnic box available for children in the restaurant chiller, as well as a selection of hot meals. There are highchairs available to use indoors – ask a member of staff to bring one to your table.

During peak times and at weekends, the refreshments kiosk and trailer are open, serving sandwiches, hot snacks and drinks. Please check opening times on arrival.

We have recently re-stocked our shop with some stylish new reusable cups (includes a free drink when purchased.) These are also available at our restaurant facilities. Receive a 25p discount for every hot drink with any reusable cup.
