Morley Hayes Dovecote Restaurant
Set against a stunning backdrop of cool teal and turquoise tones with bold indigo accents, The Dovecote has been reimagined into a sophisticated, contemporary haven infused with earthy tones that mirror the tranquil countryside that surrounds it.
Celebrated as one of Derbyshire’s finest dining destinations, The Dovecote is renowned for its dedication to locally sourced, seasonal ingredients. Our talented chefs craft exceptional menus for every occasion – from indulgent Champagne Breakfast and elegant Afternoon Tea to our refined dinner menu and much-loved traditional Sunday lunch.
Open year-round, The Dovecote is the perfect setting for life’s special moments – whether you're celebrating an anniversary, Valentine’s Day, a birthday, Mother's Day, or treating yourself to an evening of fine dining.
For a more intimate experience, private dining is available in the Hayloft, featuring a stunning terrace that offers sweeping views of our gardens, golf course, and the rolling countryside beyond.
Complementing our seasonal menus is an award-winning wine, cocktail, and drinks list curated to showcase both global treasures and the very best of Derbyshire’s own producers.
