Welcome to Searcys at The Alnwick Garden.
A true homecoming for Searcys, 1837 was the year the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland employed their new confectioner and pastry chef, John Searcy and after funding from the Duke he went on to set up his own catering company in 1847, John Searcy and Sons.
Searcys brand-new series of hospitality packages for the venue will showcase the seasons and focus on the home-grown products.
