Sunday Lunch

At the heart of Shilstone lies the completely restored Grade II listed Georgian manor house, open for tours every month, and for events.

The gardens at Shilstone include a fine terraced garden, a walled garden, a kitchen garden, formal gardens around the house, surrounded by wild flowers and long grasses.

Shilstone is surrounded by unspoilt rolling Devon hills and oak lined green fields.  Below the house are five ancient ponds connected by rills and cascades.

The archive is an historical collection of books, photographs, documents and artifacts with a connection to rural Devon.

Every Sunday Shilstone hosts a traditional Sunday lunch with delicious locally sourced produce.  In the winter this takes place in the Great Barn, and in the summer in our marquee in the 17^th century walled garden.

Our charming café is situated in a flower-filled courtyard with indoor and outdoor seating, serving a delicious and light breakfast & lunch menu, as well as afternoon tea and homemade cakes.

We have a number of seasonal events throughout the year including,  wood-fired barbecues in the café courtyard, workshops including block printing, as well as a monthly evening lectures.

Every month, Lucy the owner of Shilstone, hosts house and garden tours, taking you though all of the rooms of the house whilst explaining the history and restoration, and discussing the creation of the gardens.
