Takeaways and brunches

If you are looking for our takeaways or brunches, you are in the right place. Whilst the Heyford House kitchen is often busy with breakfasts for our guests, or designing a menu to compliment a Wim`Hof Method workshop, we occasionally offer exclusive, one-off menus.


Because these are prepared only when time allows, the days and times vary. To be the first to hear when the next takeaway or brunch is scheduled, sign up to our food newsletter.

Meet Sonya

Sonya Kidney is a classically trained chef, restaurateur and food writer who champions simplicity, seasonality and stress-free cooking.


She established her reputation in the Cotswolds as head chef at The Feathers in Woodstock, where she first teamed up with Leo. Together, they launched the acclaimed Marsh Goose in Moreton-in-Marsh, followed by the Churchill Arms in Paxford, a period that saw the pub rank among Britain's top 50 places to eat. Sonya later opened a Chipping Norton delicatessen and shared her practical approach to cooking as a food columnist for the Guardian.


Sonya and Leo are now co-hosts here at Heyford House. Bringing her wealth of culinary experience to the kitchen, she continues her lifelong focus on outstanding ingredients and food that delivers genuine pleasure.
