Parham House & Gardens

In addition to the recipes from Parham’s Big Kitchen, you can also enjoy monthly seasonal recipes from private chef and food stylist Nicola Richman, who comes to Parham at various times throughout the year to cook for the family.

As part of our new series of blogs where we introduce the people behind Parham, revealing more about their roles and favourite piece of our historic estate, this month we talk to House Guide and Archivist Lyndy Kessell.

Parham’s portrait of Omiah has just returned to the newly decorated Green Room, after five months of conservation work in a private London studio.

Over the season we will be sharing regular recipes from our in-house chef, Neil Rusbridger. You can find these delicious recipes featured on our seasonal menu in the Big Kitchen. We hope you enjoy making these dishes to enjoy for yourself.

At Parham, the winter months, when we close our doors to the public, are always a very busy time. All our conservation and restoration work happens then. This year, we have concentrated on the Green Room and the Ante-Room, and we are very excited about the results.
