The refurbishment was carried out in full consultation with the owners and the wider Wadswick Green community. Park Grove Design, who were responsible for the redesign and refit, incorporated all the owners feedback when submitting their new design with regards to the stunning new colour palette.

Speaking about the project, Keith Turnbull, Village Manager at Wadswick Green said: “The brief for Park Grove was to incorporate The Greenhouse's picturesque and natural setting within the village's 25 acres of beautiful, landscaped gardens. We also wanted the design to reflect our zero food miles carbon footprint. The kitchen garden produce that Chris Liversidge, Head of Landscaping and his team grow, goes straight from field to plate and is used in the fresh and seasonal dishes prepared by our talented Head Chef, Leon Sheppard.

“As a result, Park Grove came up with a “biophilic design” a concept used within the building industry to increase occupant connectivity to the natural environment through the use of direct nature, indirect nature and space and place conditions, an idea which benefits both occupants and the environment.”

As part the villages ESG policy, Wadswick Green was very keen to recycle any original furniture and accessories to a good home.

A combination of Wadswick Green owners, their families and friends made requests to rehouse the furniture, all that was asked in return, was that they made a small donation to the Dorothy Hospice – a local charity close the village's heart. In addition, Keith also gave away furniture on Facebook Marketplace, so that the local community could also benefit. These included people starting up new homes, some upcycling projects and even a new start up café near Bath.

Keith continued “We are absolutely delighted to have been able to donate all of our original furniture meaning there has been zero waste and to have been able to help so many of the community, both at Wadswick Green and the wider community. We hope that people will show their support by coming to visit The Greenhouse, where they can relax and enjoy the new surroundings and our delicious seasonal menus.”

The Greenhouse offers a contemporary yet comfortable dining experience with picturesque surroundings, perfectly viewable from the large floor to ceiling windows where diners get to eat surrounded by lush foliage and verdant greenery. The restaurant offers guests a dining experience in a chic and laid-back setting, whilst the focal bar displays the extensive drink selections available and continues to attract wine enthusiasts.

For the warmer days, a spacious outdoor terrace with plenty of seating provides the perfect setting to enjoy an alfresco drink. From a sunny morning coffee, afternoon drink with friends, to classy evening cocktails with the stunning southwest sunset as the backdrop, the terrace is perfect for socialising and makes a great spot for a fun and casual dining experience.
