At Thyme, our radishes are bursting out of the ground in great abundance and if you’ve never roasted a radish, now is the time to try. It’s surprisingly delicious. This salad can be made in advance – actually, it gets a bit better with time, because the onions have time to mellow a little. It works well as a light lunch for 2 or a side for 4 people.

A pavé, literally meaning cobblestone, is a square of layered and pressed potato, fried until crisp. The potato pavé crops up on many different plates throughout the year. This late summer combination is probably one of the best.

There is nothing that says summer quite like a perfectly ripe tomato grown at home. We have grown many heirloom varieties in a stunning array of colours and tastes - sweet, striped, black, green, acidic.

A firm favourite during the summer months, this recipe is a quick and flavourful way to transform all those peaches into a fresh and vibrant pudding. One for the last dregs of summer sun in September, for entertaining or dining al fresco.

Fresh and vibrant, this delectable recipe is the centrepiece of our summer lunch menu, celebrating the edible flowers and herbs growing in abundance in our gardens this summer.

English Sparkling Winemaking with Nyetimber

The quintessentially British brand shares our ethos for conservation and appreciation for the land. Winemaker, Brad Greatrix, spills the grapes on the art of English sparkling winemaking.

The time for al fresco lunches has arrived. Our Thyme tart recipe is sustaining and seriously flavourful; a welcome pick-me-up after a sunny walk through the wild meadows.

We have a menu of herb infused waters and tisanes in The Greenhouse, the new spa reception, all of which are delicious and easy to make. While the weather is hot, it is doubly important to remain hydrated and if you flavour your water with fresh herbs and fruit you are creating your own ‘vitamin water’ without any artificial ingredients.

I recall one fine morning, several years ago, in the South of France, when I woke up with a light fuzziness to find myself on the patio of a charming Chateau.

A clever marriage of sweet & sour, soft & crisp, and each element is easier than you might think.
