Mad for charcoal

Charcoal produced at Buckland Abbey and available in the shop, Buckland Abbey, Garden and Estate, Devon © TVBucklandAbbey

We produce charcoal on our estate from our own trees and we're very proud of it. It lights easily, burns a long time and leaves no unpleasant taste. Available in our shop. Who says barbecues are just for summer?

Bottoms up

Unlike the monks, we’re not yet brewing beer however Red Rock in nearby Teignmouth makes three different ales just for us. Drink a pint in our restaurant or pick up a three-pack from our shop to take home.

From plot to plate

Our gardeners and chefs are working together to provide some delicious, healthy and local meals.

It’s not uncommon to see a gardener pushing a wheelbarrow piled with lettuce grown in our traditional walled Cider House kitchen garden to the restaurant kitchen where our chefs serve it up. It doesn’t get more local than that.
