Dining

From the garden,
to your table.

A Private Chef

Your kitchen, cooked by ours.

Each farmhouse comes with its own private chef — there is no restaurant, no set menu, and no dinner bell. Meals are planned with you on arrival and cooked in the farmhouse kitchen, as simply or elaborately as you like.

Farm produce
The Garden

A one-acre kitchen.

Our kitchen garden provides most of what reaches the table — heirloom tomatoes, cut herbs, salad leaves, stone fruit, free-range eggs, and milk from the house cow.

What we don't grow, we source from small farms in the Rift Valley, or occasionally Nairobi for the unusual.

Outdoor dining
Where to Dine

The table, wherever you like it.

Breakfast on the veranda. Lunch laid out in the orchard. Dinner by the fire, or under the stars at a long table in the garden. Picnics packed for a day out on horseback.

Special occasions — anniversaries, birthdays, long weekends — are a quiet speciality.

A Sample Day

Simple, seasonal, unhurried.

Breakfast
Farm eggs, garden tomato, sourdough from our oven, freshly-ground Kenyan coffee, pawpaw from the orchard.
Lunch
Smoked trout salad with garden leaves, flatbreads cooked over coals, a cold white from the cellar.
Sundowners
Gin and tonic on the ridge, overlooking Lake Elmenteita as the flamingos lift.
Dinner
Slow-roasted estate lamb with rosemary, garden vegetables, a South African red, crème brûlée with farm cream.
