A warm welcome to our Devon community
The Orangery Cafe launched in July 2020 making terrific use of our Country House location and inspired space whilst Lord Ivar and James were forced to reconsider the Bridwell business mix in the wake of Covid-19.
Fast forward to the present day, The Orangery Cafe offers a small but perfectly formed seasonal menu of fabulous barista coffee, light brunch, lunch dishes, delicious cakes, eats, treats and relaxed bar drinks.
Visitors will also find a delightful in house edit of hand made gifts, artwork, prints and cards, artisan goodies and local produce – aptly named The Love Local Edit, all set within our tranquil and charming surrounds.
A wonderful hub for our Devon community, it’s an absolute pleasure to share The Orangery Cafe and Parkland with welcome visitors and guests.
