For groups we offer a real “Farm to Fork” dining experience which means that the food we serve features as much of our own produce as possible and therefore change frequently through out the seasons. Outlined below is a selection of popular menus that we serve at Parnassus.
All prices include entry to the gardens and garden/planting plan/map. We are also happy to provide a talk about the history of the land and creation of Parnassus Farm and Garden if requested in advance.
