Estate to Plate

The Bildeston Crown is part of Nedging Hall Estate, a family owned country estate in Suffolk.

We're proud to grow many of our own vegetables, fruits and herbs in our gardens at Nedging Hall. Growing our own fresh vegetables, fruits, and herbs is key to our sustainability efforts, reducing our food miles and allowing our talented kitchen team to craft new dishes.

Homegrown is best

We have a team of 4 full-time gardeners who ensure The Crown has the best homegrown produce.
We’re continually looking to expand the Nedging Kitchen Garden and are now able to pick asparagus from our second crop. 2024 will be the first summer we’ll be growing very special Roscoff onions.

Nedging Hall Estate invests to ensure that the only impact we have on the environment is a positive one.

Fresh flowers at the farm

We have a ‘no dig’ flower farm at Nedging Hall. This allows us to grow all the flowers for the tables at The Crown.

2024 celebrates the second year of The Wild Society growing flowers on an acre of land at Nedging Hall, Suffolk. Sustainability lies at the heart of the business. The primary emphasis is on regenerative farming methods using organic practices.

Brewing our own Beer

Nedging Hall Estate grows its own barley on the farm, which is sent to our very own Mauldon's Brewery to be crafted into our award-winning beer. You'll find them on tap in The Crown.
Brewing fine Suffolk Beers since 1795. Mauldon’s core range is six traditional award-winning ales, a Mauldons lager and seasonal small batch brews are crafted throughout the year.
