Monks’ Kitchen
‘Your promise is sweeter to my taste than honey in my mouth (Psalm 118)
A Living Tradition from Buckfast Abbey
Monks’ Kitchen is a return to rhythm. Rooted in centuries-old Benedictine principles of work, prayer, and hospitality, it gathers the fruits of monastic life into something quietly enduring. Launched at the Summer Fair, these first offerings – like our Monks Nectar ale, Cloister cheese, and seasonal preserves – carry the distinct character of the place that shaped them: honest, grounded, and deeply nourishing.
This is not a nod to the past. It’s a living tradition: goods crafted slowly and with purpose, deeply tied to Buckfast Abbey. From jam made with fruit grown on the Abbey estate to a carefully brewed ale overseen by the monks, every product carries the character of Buckfast Abbey.
Monks’ Kitchen invites you to taste that rhythm. To take home a piece of a life lived with intention. When you choose Monks’ Kitchen, you’re not just selecting exceptional quality—you’re helping sustain a legacy, and sharing in a quiet act of hospitality.
