Glyndebourne

Set in the Sussex countryside, Glyndebourne is one of the world's most celebrated opera houses, where extraordinary performances meet beautiful gardens and a long tradition of food and drink. From picnics on the lawn to dinner before the performance, dining is as much a part of the Glyndebourne experience as the opera itself.

A performance worth making a meal of

At Glyndebourne, the interval is something to look forward to. Company of Cooks brings together a collection of dining experiences that make the most of the occasion, from leisurely lunches and three-course dinners to afternoon teas, relaxed bites and picnics in the gardens.

Across Middle & Over Wallop, Mildmay and Nether Wallop, each restaurant offers something different. Seasonal menus, carefully selected wines and food that celebrates the best of local ingredients all have their place, whether guests are sitting down for a special meal or enjoying something more relaxed before the performance.

And then there's the great Glyndebourne picnic tradition. With freshly prepared hampers to enjoy in the gardens, alongside bars and refreshments throughout the venue, there are plenty of ways to make the most of the time before the curtain rises and during the interval.

For those looking to make the occasion even more memorable, Glyndebourne also offers private dining and hospitality experiences, bringing together food, music and the remarkable setting of the Sussex countryside.
