Intimate Dining at Millbrook
Our Summerhouse offers the perfect setting for an intimate dining experience, tailored entirely to your taste and dietary needs. Whether it’s a delightful afternoon tea, a beautifully arranged grazing board, or a private dinner for two, our local suppliers cater to every preference—even the fussiest palates and those with allergies or dietary restrictions. Perhaps you’ll indulge in a vintage afternoon tea with freshly baked scones, clotted cream, and jam (Devon style, Cream then Jam; of course!), dainty cakes, savoury bites, and delicious sandwiches.
Or, for something different, choose from continental cheese and charcuterie platters, unique canapés, or even the cosy BBQ House for an unforgettable DIY indoor BBQ experience. From sumptuous dining options to recommendations for local eateries, the choice is yours. Simply let us know of any dietary requirements, and we’ll work with our trusted suppliers to ensure a safe and delicious experience.

Grazing Boards, Afternoon Teas & Picnics on the Estate

Looking for a bit of adventure? Opt for a picnic-style afternoon tea and explore Millbrook’s 32 acres to find your ideal spot. With countless hidden nooks around the estate, you’ll uncover the perfect place to make your own. Whether it’s freshly baked scones, dainty sandwiches, or a charcuterie board bursting with flavour, your al fresco experience awaits against the stunning Millbrook backdrop.
The BBQ House in the Woods
Tucked away in the heart of the woods, our BBQ House offers a toasty, sheltered spot for an intimate dining experience—perfect for autumn and winter evenings. Surrounded by twinkling fairy lights, warm rugs, and a relaxed atmosphere, it’s the ultimate cosy retreat for a memorable evening.
Choose to have one of our skilled chefs prepare a delicious spread, ready for you to cook up at your own pace, or bring your favourite ingredients and go fully DIY. The BBQ House is stocked with high-quality melamine plates, bowls, glasses, and cutlery, making it easy to enjoy a truly effortless meal.
Available for hire at £35 per evening, the BBQ House invites you to relax in warmth and comfort, enjoying a unique dining experience amidst the quiet beauty of the woods—even when the chill sets in outside.
Private Dining in the Summerhouse
Indulge in the ultimate romantic dining experience with private dining in the very same Summer House where you exchanged vows earlier that day, adding a truly special touch to your evening together. Nestled in an incredible location with an atmosphere that words can hardly capture, this is more than a meal; it’s an unforgettable evening made just for you. Imagine a roaring log fire, the glow of flickering candles, soft mood lighting, and gentle music setting the scene—every detail crafted to enhance the magic of your time together (with a few surprises we’ll leave for you to discover!).
Perfect for couples or small groups of up to 4 guests, this intimate setting can be reserved for £85, with the Summerhouse transformed exclusively for your dining pleasure.
Whether it’s your wedding night or another special evening during your stay, you’ll enjoy the unique experience of dining in the very place where you exchanged your vows.
Simply bring along a favourite bottle of wine (or select something delightful from our honesty bar), and let one of our exceptional private chefs curate a meal tailored to your tastes. With menu options from £70 to £80 per person, they’ll work with you to create a culinary experience as memorable as the setting itself. No taxis, no crowded restaurants—just the two of you, savouring every moment together in this beautifully private escape.
Make it a night to remember in every sense, with a dining experience designed to be as extraordinary as your love story.
