THE HERB CAFE AT

BELLA DONNA NURSERY

This garden restaurant is right next to the Drostdy and was once (from about 1776) part of the magnificent garden that would have supplied the household of the Landlords.

Christiane’s passion for good food and healthy living, inspired her to develop a concept that comes from the heart. Making food from scratch, using fresh, locally sourced, where possible organic ingredients with minimal additives, preservatives or harmful chemicals. Slow food is happy food, and comes from taking the time to prepare a meal.

 

Breakfast, light lunches and of course cakes and bakes of the day served in the peaceful nursery surrounds.
Welcome to our home.
