The Seed Store Restaurant

About the Seed Store

You may know that The Saw Mill and Seed Store was one of our first holiday properties at Glen Dye. We lovingly and painstakingly renovated it in 2018, decades after it had been allowed to collapse into ruin.

Then, during that grim series of named storms during late 2023 and early 2024, when gale after gale and downpour after downpour thrashed and lashed and wrecked and ruined, The Saw Mill suffered some pretty nasty damage which led us not to despair but to search for, and find, some silver linings in those grumpy, rain-soaked clouds. We decided to open The Saw Mill to all of our guests.

We’ve been aware for some time that many of you are looking for things to do when you stay with us that don’t take you far away from your house. We’ve been mulling this for some time and this is what we decided.

So, and in response to endless requests, we have launched a small, simple and high-end restaurant at The Saw Mill, called The Seed Store (because it will be housed in The Seed Store). When we say ‘high-end’ we mean in a contemporary way, so very relaxed and low-key but also small and detail-driven as well as super-focused on excellent seasonal ingredients from Glen Dye, cooked over fire.

Glen Dye really does offer up an extraordinary array of ingredients and we’ll develop various seasonal menus that make the best of these.

The restaurant will be open occasionally and our residential guests will always have first dibs on booking. This isn’t our first restaurant venture: we have two at Hawarden in Wales and for many years, Caroline worked with the late, fabled chef Bill Granger, so we feel confident enough to give it a go.

The space is also open to hire privately for weddings, corporate retreats and group bookings.

The Saw Mill is located at the Discovery and Adventure Centre.
