Food and drink
The Elms team is proud to have acclaimed Head Chef, David Hammond, on board, providing both the Pear Terrace Brasserie and Brookes Restaurant with beautifully designed menus to suit both adults and children.
Brookes Restaurant
The Brookes Restaurant achieves the balance between family dining and parents desiring fine dining; serving family breakfast and lunch and an adult only a la carte dinner every day.
Breakfast is a family affair in the Brookes with a range of exciting yet healthy options for children and adults alike. With a family menu option available all day for all ages, why not take lunch in the beautiful Brookes Restaurant?
The Gallery room, in the opposite wing to the Brookes, offers an early dinner sitting for families wishing to dine together from with menu choice from either the Brookes a la carte or the Pear Terrace menu.
Parent’s who wish to enjoy some grown up time can take the little ones along to high tea in the Pear Terrace, then dine in the Brookes after the children are tucked up in bed. The baby listening service will monitor the sleeping children, allowing parents to remember the times they had before the children came along.
