  • After my recent visit to Sandringham Estate for the tour and cream tea, I went to Highgrove House, near Tetbury in Gloucestershire, England, to experience the famous Christmas Lunch in the Orchard Tea Room. It was a wonderful afternoon!

    Highgrove House was the country residence of King Charles III and Camilla, Queen consort, before he stepped into his role as the sovereign of the United Kingdom. Following a reshuffle of the royal family, ownership of Highgrove has now automatically passed to Prince William as the new Duke of Cornwall.

    Thanks for taking me along for lunch at King Charles III (our former Prince of Wales) estate at Highgrove. I had seen garden tours in the summer but never the restaurant and gift shop. It appears that you had a great time in an elegant surroundings. King Charles III appears to be an astute businessman providing employment for many. Over the 40 years he has managed the Duchy of Cornwall and increased its value of land, businesses and investments to over £1 billion ( Pounds). Prince William, now the Prince of Wales, has some big and impressive shoes to fill. I hope that William can continue to grow the Duchy and pass on a solid inheritance to Prince George when the time comes. How far is Highgrove from London?

The dinner looked absolutely delicious & one could clearly tell that everything was made with such high quality ingredients.Outstanding! The China, as well as the silverware was also just beautiful! The Gift Shop was also amazing & had such unique & beautiful high quality Gifts! So much to choose from! I loved the Prince of Wales feathered Crest Christmas decoration that you chose. It is lovely & will be such a treasured memento of this experience for years to come! Thank you for sharing another delightful experience!

    What a glorious video ! Thank you!!! I loved everything about it. Beautiful couple enjoying such an amazing, warm and inviting place...the atmosphere so gentle and... elegant yet humble. in all ways. loved seeing the menu then seeing the generous portions and i could almost smell ech course. Loved the beautiful music to go with it ..and the words to describe what each segment was about. I felt from USA standards things were not too expensive either. ..and so beautifully arranged and decorated. I can feel the warm love of king Charles lll in the whole of it and the beauty and fun of his lovely wife,. II also felt the entire combination was healing and a soothing balm for a balm to the weary soul bringing total harmony and peace. Many thanks, from my heart. I hope you make many more of these.

      Wow Merri you captured the mood and atmosphere (ambience) so accurately through what you saw in the video. That's amazing! The Orchard Tea Room in Highgrove certainly was everything that you have just so skilful described! Thank you for such a beautiful comment! Your whole comment was so perfect but my favourite part was 'I also felt the entire combination was healing and a soothing balm for a balm to the weary soul bringing total harmony and peace'
      You're so right about this. I'm still experiencing harmony and peace.... I've got some lovely videos planned for this year but some of the amazing places I'm hoping to visit are only open in the spring.

    Charles loves this home and its gardens, that he planned along with experts, that I am sure it will remain his private home when he can get to Gloucestershire, even though William technically owns it now as part of the inheritances that go along with the Duchy of Cornwall and its holdings. He often takes food products from these gardens with him as host gifts or as food he eats when he travels because it is all sustainably grown, so he knows it is healthy and he can encourage others to follow suit. Placement of the items for sale at the entrance and exit points is important for an estate trying to remain self-sustaining. They continue to use the gardens for research, so it is a crucial use of land. My goodness, is it drafty being seated by those doors? Yes, all paths lead through the shops. LOL. I see they offer a vegetarian option. I'd expect no less. I am surprised to note there are so few people there having a holiday lunch with a friend they do not get to see often or spend the actual holiday with. I am a bit surprised that the servers dress so casually. I would not expect fancy costumes, but something a bit less like one would wear shopping with the kids at Target. Perhaps they are attired more like many of the folks who visit the gardens, though I don't know that they'd have the money to pay those prices for lunch, even if they budgeted it as a noontime dinner. Do they provide doggy bags, if you cannot finish it all? I don't care how chi-chi an establishment is, there should be no food waste. I loved that the china exhibited living things in its design, it appeared. And a good teacup shape that is less low & wide, a bit more mug-like, so as to retain the heat of the tea or coffee within better during the quaffing thereof. Great flooring, discreet decorations, good music, and who's the chappy on the wall in the kilt? Glad Charles offers some of his own paintings there. It's good that the design of the shop allows the outer door to open & close while blocking the chill/wind with a small vestibule.

Luckily it wasn't draftty where we were sitting😊😊 The 'chappy on the wall with the kilt' is King Charles III as a young prince. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

I will chalk it up to artistic license on the part of the artist, because even some facial features are not like his.

    How lovely that the china used to serve your meal has been changed out to reflect the season. I was there in May to see the gardens and had lunch, the china was floral and in keeping with the surroundings. Your horseradish sauce was served on a plate from the china pattern used in May. Your meal looked delicious. I wished I had gone into the bathroom!!! Such photos I could have taken. Guess I'll have to go back!! Prince William has indeed inherited Highgrove House, but the King will be paying rent to William for the foreseeable future as his (and the Queen's) heart is most definitely there in the house and the gardens. It is their refuge , though the Queen has her own refuge in Wiltshire too.

    I just found it today on my UA-cam, and I'm glad that I did!
    And I see that you had a delightful time visiting at the Highgrove area, and restaurant/gift shop.
    I like how you filmed the driving ride into Highgrove in the beginning of this video.
    Your meal that you ordered looks tasty, and healthy!
    And your shopping experience at the gift shop part of the restaurant was fun, wasn't it? Lol.
    Personally, I would have chose some of the jars of fruit spreads, and one of the Highgrove sourvenier Christmas tree ornaments, to purchase.
    And I would have lingered over the paintings that Charles did, that were hanging in frames around the store, and I would have taken pictures of the paintings that I favored the most. (And then I would have bragged later, showing off the collection of pictures of paintings that King Charles had painted!). 🤓
    I have liked Charles since way back, and that part of Charles has always intrigued me.
    And please don't yearn for that expensive Teddy bear.
    (Let Charles and Camilla give you one!!)
    You are such a sweet lady, and I don't see why they would mind, if they knew how much you wanted it.
    And I'm sure that Charles and Camilla are generous people, especially to their friends and fans.
    Everything in this video was so classy and well done, and it looked very well planned, and well thought out, and organized.
