Killerton boasts 50 acres of traditionally managed orchard with over 100 varieties of apple tree. To celebrate the seasonal and National Apple Day we've created a delicious cake recipe for you to try making at home. You can buy the flour and cider in the shop at Killerton.
Orchards are a special habitat and at Killerton are managed in a traditional way to make award-winning apple juice and cider.
Make the most of seasonal food with these recipes which celebrate the best of autumn produce. In the South West we care for acres of ancient orchards, so apples feature heavily in our recipes, as do foragable berries and other seasonal favourites.
The Killerton Kitchen takeaway is open 10am-4pm daily, serving drinks, snacks and ice cream. The Stables Coffeeshop is open 10am-4pm daily from Wednesday 30 September, serving drinks, hot and cold food, snacks and ice cream. We’ve introduced new safety measures, including waymarked routes and only accepting card payment. Unfortunately we won’t be able to take loyalty cards or serve customers drinks in their own cups. We look forward to welcoming you back and know that you’ll support us to make this a safe experience for everyone.
Take inspiration from one of the grand houses in the South West, and create a National Trust gingerbread house.
Why not freshen up your liqueur cabinet this year and try something a little different? At our shop, you can find our sparkling and still cider, produced with the apples grown on the estate. It makes the perfect mulled cider, a tipple which can be enjoyed throughout autumn and winter.
Why not pick up a bag of flour on your visit and have a go at making your own loaf with this (not so secret) recipe?
