April

In true British style we will kick this off with a grumble about the weather. It’s been a bizarre month of rain, sleet, sun, ice and bitterly cold wind - the poor ducks aren't too sure if they’re ready to bring ducklings to the lake yet!
As we speak, however, the weather is glorious and we've managed to keep the sun shining over the Mill for three consecutive days, with bated breath I think we can all agree summer is on its way! (Fingers and toes crossed)

We would like to congratulate our newly-weds who all tied the knot with us this month:
Anna & Paul – who managed to book and plan their lovely day in less than 5 weeks! Leanne & Phillip, Sue & Paul and Teresa & Terry - Each wedding was individual to the couples and all of them beautiful days. We wish them all the best for the future and hope they come and visit us with updates!

April sees the end of our current menu and as we look forward into May, Chef has some tantalising treats in store. Our most popular dishes are having a seasonal facelift with exciting new flavours and summery twists, like our Chicken – now wrapped in parma ham and stuffed with creamy brie on a bed of salad and potatoes. A new dish Chef recommends is the Sea Bass with mixed leaves and sherry sesame prawn toast – delightfully light and healthy with mouth-watering flavours.
Our desserts haven’t been left out either with a scrummy blueberry and lime posset perfect for a treat by the lake and it’s worth mentioning the double indulgence chocolate fudge cake ‘with a twist’!. We've all been nibbling on the trimmings and can happily confirm it’s delicious!

Our Tappas special is running through the summer, 4 Tappas dishes with Mediterranean breads and a bottle of wine for £30 for two! It’s a perfect light meal to enjoy by the lake in the evening or getting cosy in our bar if the weather isn't so warm. 

Our Fawlty Towers evening is fast approaching, all of the staff at Hornsbury are very excited to welcome the Moonstone Theatre Company for a night of chaos and antics. We expect it will be an evening of madness with Basil and Cybil bickering while Manuel causes bedlam in the background!
It’s not too late to book if you love the idea of terrible service! The evening is £38 per person or £78 with accommodation.

And finally we would love to say a huge good luck to our Bride and Grooms in May – Laura & Andrew, Faye & Ryan and our Win a Wedding couple Karen & Ben who managed to beat off all of the competition to have the wedding of their dreams here at Hornsbury. We couldn't be more excited for them all!


Why not come and join us for Sunday Lunch? At £9.95 for a main, it is value for money and absolutely delicious. Finish off with a scrummy dessert and a stroll round our beautiful lake... we're just waiting for some fluffy little ducklings to appear...!
