telephone 01531 670 816 email admin@thenestledbury.co.ukOn September 22nd the government announced further national measures to address rising cases of coronavirus in England.
These new measures involve some changes here at the nest, primarily around food and drink consumed on the premises, specifically:
- food and drink must be ordered from, and served at, a table
This unfortunately means we will no longer be able to use the nesting box for takeout orders so ALL takeout will need to be consumed outside (weather permitting) or away from the farm…but, the silver lining is, more retail space!!
thenest hospitality side is continuously being reimagined and the latest (today’s) version will sit up to 74 guests divided over two lovely, unique, if quirky spaces.
When you arrive, we will meet you, note your contact details and take you to
your seats… take your order and serve you at your table…
no more queueing at the tills or uncertainty about getting a seat!
theVeranda – open sided, sheltered area, with tables subtly distanced by olive trees, climbers and antique doors with infrared heaters for cooler times
thenestCafe – a light filled creative space with vintage cinema seats, farrow and ball colours, antique and salvaged furnishings within an artist/maker exhibition space
Booking ahead is as ever a good plan, but we will always do our best to fit you in if we can.
Please Note changes from Thursday September 24th until further notice
In order for us to have the time to keep on top of all the essential, covid secure, day to day safety aspects we can no longer juggle bookings on the day and ask you please, please to book no later than 4.30pm the day before, as we genuinely hate letting anyone down, probably even more than you do! (although certain trip advisor critics it appears wouldn’t agree!)
Simply call 01531 670 816 or pop in a day or so beforehand, please note,
we will ask for a £5 non refundable table reservation fee to be set against
your bill

Little Knapp Distillery
Back in August 2018 Jonny came home from a busy shift in the kitchen and declared “We’re going to make gin!” Natalie heard the word gin to which her automatic response is “yes please”. After a period of experimenting and research we realised that we had both the skills and access to amazing botanical ingredients surrounding us here on the knapp to create a fantastic London Dry Gin. Shortly after this our very first gin ‘Wild Knapp Gin’ was born.
We emptied an outbuilding that was previously used for storage and purchased our first small still. When we say we are a small batch micro-distillery, we really mean it with each batch being a maximum 25 bottles.
We started to experiment with fruit and herbs grown on the land surrounding the distillery; known locally as the knapp. The ingredients we use include quince, apples, pears, thyme, bay, rosemary, rose petals and elderberries. We also cut our gin to bottle strength using our own spring water. After many late nights and interesting combinations we found what we thought was a winner. Everything we do is hand crafted from distilling the gin itself to bottling and labelling each bottle.
Severn Spots British Charcuterie
We produce award winning free-range British charcuterie made in Worcester. Only quality ingredients and free-range pork are used to create our salamis and chorizo. They are all made by hand and then air dried for up to 5 weeks until they are ready to eat. We are proud to be SALSA registered, meeting high standards in food safety.
GREAT TASTE AWARDS 2019: We are delighted that several of our charcuterie, salami and chorizo won Great Taste Awards. Our Tuscan Salami and Chorizo won 2 stars each; and Sopressata Salami, Walnut Sticks and Blueberry Sticks won 1 star each!
High animal welfare standards are very important to us. Therefore only use one quality pork supplier, Packington Pork, who are a RSPCA accredited farm – all of their pigs are free-range.
Local Suppliers
We pride ourselves on supporting the many award winning local suppliers we are blessed to be surrounded by… Wilce’s supply a great range of bottled ciders, our own label ACV (apple cider vinegar) and the draught for the cafe bar… loads other Cider makers are of course featured at thenest
Our fabulous ‘Henry’

Initially seen as a wedding venue, theHenry is just a lovely welcoming space that lends its self to all manner of gatherings from brownies sleepovers, to concert hall seating 120, feast nights to family picnics, craft workshops to exhibitions
