Afternoon tea will be served in the drawing room.
In the evening you will be served dinner in the Burlington Restaurant’s candlelit conservatory, where Executive Head Chef Steve Smith, who has held a Michelin Star for over ten years, will come and talk about your unique five-course tasting menu.

You will be treated to a modern french six-course menu and enjoy wines to accompany the meals from the extensive wine cellar. Return to The Devonshire Arms and climb into your large inviting bed for a good night’s sleep.
Day 3
After a hearty breakfast you will check out and transfer by chauffeur driven car (or chartered helicopter by appointment) to your method of transport home. You will take away with you a personalised chef's apron, menu cards, along with a bottle of Ampleforth Cider and Ampleforth Cider Brandy.
