Chapel House Estate Announces The Courtyard Kitchen, Launching February 2026

Chapel House Estate is delighted to announce the launch of The Courtyard Kitchen, an exciting new addition to the estate's Glass Courtyard and on-site restaurant, number nine, opening in February 2026.

Located on the outdoor terrace beside the Glass Courtyard, The Courtyard Kitchen has been thoughtfully designed as a warm, social space that brings people together around live fire cooking, seasonal produce and shared experiences. The new space enhances the estate’s existing dining and event offering, while remaining true to its relaxed, countryside setting.

A defining feature of The Courtyard Kitchen is its open kitchen, set beneath exposed timber beams and softly lit by hanging lights. Guests will be able to watch Chapel House Estate’s chefs at work across a bespoke barbecue grill with a fire brick base, alongside a traditional spit roast where slow-turning meats and vegetables are cooked over open flames, filling the courtyard with rich, smoky aromas.

The experience is further elevated by the use of a Big Green Egg for hot smoking, delivering deep, wood-fired flavours to fish, vegetables and speciality cuts. Alongside a wood-fired pizza oven, producing rustic, beautifully charred pizzas straight from the flames.
