The Somerleyton Estate is looking for an exceptional catering partner to take on the licence of the Somerleyton Hall Garden Tearoom. If you are passionate about sustainable produce and delicious food, this is an excellent opportunity to make the most of the 20,000 visitors that come and enjoy the gardens every year.
Set in a Victorian glasshouse, and adjacent to the ticket office, the cafe provides a well-earned rest for visitors after they have completed 12 acres of stunning gardens and its famous yew hedge maze. Footfall will increase in 2026 around planned seasonal events, starting with its much-loved Queen of Hearts in February half term.
The partner will have preferential access to local produce from the estate, including the Kitchen Garden at Somerleyton Hall, produce from the estate's 5000-acre regenerative farm, and its 1000-acre restoration project where animals roam free. They will also have the benefit of working alongside the kitchen team at Fritton Lake Members Club.
