Michael Caines to host New Year’s house party at Lympstone Manor
This New Year’s Eve, celebrated chef Michael Caines MBE will personally host guests at his Devon hotel and restaurant, Lympstone Manor.
The event promises to be one of the most exclusive celebrations of the festive season.
A New Year’s celebration at the chef’s “home from home”
The two-Michelin-starred chef is inviting guests to step inside his “home from home” for Michael’s New Year’s House Party - an immersive, three-day experience at his luxury country manor overlooking the Exe estuary.
Those staying between Monday, December 30, 2025 and Friday, January 2, 2026 will enjoy two or three nights of indulgence, beginning with a bottle of Lympstone Manor Estate Classic Cuvée on arrival and a relaxed à la carte dinner to ease into the celebrations.

Champagne, fireworks and an eight-course tasting menu
On New Year’s Eve, the manor will transform into a glamorous black-tie party. Guests will gather from 6pm for Champagne and live music from the Leigh Coleman Duo, before sitting down to an eight-course tasting menu created by Michael and his team, paired with wines selected by Lympstone Manor’s sommeliers.
As midnight approaches, guests will join Michael for a Champagne toast beneath a firework display over the vineyard and estuary, before dancing late into the night as live music continues.
The first morning of 2026 begins with a guided estuary walk, where guests can spot winter migratory birds before a convivial wine tasting with the sommelier team. Another evening of fine dining rounds off the New Year’s retreat - a celebration of friendship, flavour and the kind of hospitality that has become Michael’s signature.

For those based nearby, evening-only tickets for the black-tie gala are available from £525 per person. The experience includes Champagne aperitifs, an eight-course tasting menu with matching wine flight, and a Champagne toast at midnight during the firework display.
