About

Offering: A Collection Service - (Or call 01388 664716)

Thomas Wright House serves food every day from 12 noon. Lunch, Afternoon Tea, Evening Meals including a la carte menu and Sunday Lunch.

The restaurant is licensed with draught lager and cider and a range of bottled beers, wines & spirits.

Last orders for meals is 8pm on Sunday; weekdays and Saturday 8.30pm. We would appreciate you booking ahead if possible – Telephone 01388 664716, email enquiries@thomaswrighthouse.com or via our Facebook page.

Our restaurant is situated on the ground floor, many of the original features remain and we have a cosy log burning stove for those chilly winter evenings. A wonderful setting for Evening Meals & Sunday Lunch. Meals can also be served in a  light airy room to the rear which opens onto a patio and grassed area with outdoor play equipment – popular with families of younger children  choosing from a menu specially created for younger appetites including homemade stone baked pizzas. Afternoon Tea is usually served in our first floor bar/lounge area which has panoramic views over open countryside or in our ground floor rooms if you prefer.

We use local suppliers wherever possible and our food is all made on site by our Chefs – David, John & Suzie.

Vegetarians are well catered for, as are those with particular dietary requirements .

Should you wish to hold a private party or function we would be happy to discuss menu and room options with you.
