Opening exclusively for July and August, Otis at The Great Bustard is a refined, pop-up dining experience set within the stunning landscape of the Great Durnford Estate.
Our tasting menu is guided by the natural rhythm of the seasons, rotating regularly to showcase the finest produce at its absolute peak. Driven by an ingredient-led philosophy, our kitchen elevates exceptional local produce through modern British techniques, allowing clean flavours and natural textures to take centre stage.
Every dish reflects a meticulous dedication to craftsmanship, blending culinary ambition with classical foundations and thoughtful, table-side execution. Deeply rooted in its surroundings, our menu is a true reflection of the estate, with the vast majority of our ingredients—from reared livestock and wild game to hand-picked vegetables and honey—sourced directly from the land around us.
We are committed to a sustainable, closed-loop approach, honouring the environment through zero-waste practices and the creative repurposing of ingredients. Otis at The Great Bustard will offer a curated selection of low-intervention and biodynamic wines, featuring wine from Great Durnford’s sister estate in Tuscany alongside rare discoveries drawn from the Great Durnford Estate’s own extensive cellar.
"The menu for Otis at The Great Bustard has been curated to shine a light on the Estate and everything that makes Great Durnford unique. Our aim is to share not only the seasonal produce and ingredients, but also the stories, people, and experiences behind them - offering guests something personal, immersive, and rooted in the landscape around us.”
Jordan Taylor, Head Chef, Otis at The Great Bustard
