Kedleston's Great Kitchen Restaurant

Kedleston's Great Kitchen restaurant 

The restaurant is open 10am – 4.30pm daily and is serving hot and cold meals and drinks, sandwiches and light snacks. 

Entry to the restaurant is at the front of the building, and you can choose an available sanitised table. We also offer outdoor seating on the front lawn giving spectacular views of the park. 

The restaurant is situated in what was once Kedleston's Great Kitchen, where great banquets were prepared and a team of kitchen staff would have cooked for the Curzon family and their guests. It has changed very little over the years and you can still clearly see many of the original kitchen features. The Servants' Hall beside the kitchen offers additional tables and seating and is where, originally, the staff would have eaten their meal, after waiting on the Curzon family.

Time for breakfast

We’re open from 10am everyday so you can pop in for breakfast before your walk in the fresh parkland air. Why not start the day with a bacon bap or croissant. There are plenty of teas and coffee to choose from too. 

Lunches and snacks

We serve a range of hot and lunches from 12 noon onwards. Vegetarian and vegan options are always available, please speak to the friendly team if you have any dietery requirements. Freshly made sandwiches and lighter lunches are available too. This season, we are selling cream teas with an option to add a small bottle of prosecco or wine to your order.

Family offer

Families are always welcome and there is a 'pick and mix' style picnic box available for children in the restaurant chiller as well as a selection of hot meals. There are highchairs available to use indoors (please ask a member of staff to bring one to your table.)

Refreshments kiosk at Kedleston 

During peak times and at weekends, the refreshments kiosk (in the stableyard) is open serving sandwiches, hot and cold drinks and snacks as well as delicious tubs of various Bluebells dairy ice creams. Pre-packaged ice creams are also available. Please check opening times on arrival to the site. 

Food For Life 

Kedleston received the Soil Association’s Bronze Food for Life Served Here Award. The award recognises our commitment to serving local, fresh and honest food made using ethical and sustainable ingredients.

To achieve it we worked closely with the Soil Association. We looked at everything from our menus and our suppliers, to the way we prepare our food.
