A slower rhythm of food, land and creative life
An offshoot of Plates London in southwest France
A Private Invitation
Retreats Return
in 2027
Following a sold-out season, we’re bringing the Plates Farm Retreats back in 2027. With only 8 guests per week, join the Early Access community for first access to dates, pricing and bookings before public release.
Plates Farm is shaped by a simple idea: that how we live, eat and create is inseparable from place and surroundings
Set in the heart of southwest France, the farm operates across the seasons as both a destination for immersive food-led stays and a space for creative practice. Everything here moves with the land – slower, quieter, more deliberately.
The Philosophy
Two seasonal experiences at Plates Farm

The Food
Rooted in the place
Other meals depend on the experience you choose but food here is vibrant, seasonal and shared – an expression of place and community.
Guided by the Plates philosophy of plant-based, creative cuisine, Plates Farm celebrates what grows from its own land and local producers.
Every day begins with our Plates continental breakfast, designed to nourish slowly and simply.
Wellness
Space to rest, restore
& reconnect
Wellbeing is woven naturally into each stay. Begin your day with gentle movement, spend quiet moments among nature, or simply slow down and enjoy the space around you.
Alongside restorative yoga, mindfulness and breathwork sessions, guests can enjoy our heated saltwater pool, sauna and gym. Whether you're seeking deep rest or renewed energy, the farm offers the freedom to find your own rhythm.
Flexible Stays
Experience the farm
on your own terms
Outside of our retreats and residencies, The Farm is also available for individual room bookings, exclusive hire and private events.
Whether you're planning a countryside escape, a family gathering or a special celebration, we'll help shape a stay that suits your needs.
A restored rural retreat
in southwest France
The Farm
Plates Farm is located in Le Gers, southwest France, within easy reach of Toulouse and Bordeaux.
The space includes restored rural buildings, en-suite rooms, shared dining areas, studios, gardens, orchards and surrounding countryside.
A heated saltwater pool, sauna and hot tub sit within the landscape, alongside spaces for morning meditation and yoga.
Designed for both rest and production, the farm brings together quiet luxury, simplicity and seasonality.
From London roots
to French soil
The Story
Plates Farm continues a journey that began with Plates London, our Michelin-starred restaurant rooted in creativity and plant-based cuisine.
Here, that philosophy expands beyond the restaurant, exploring how food, place and time can shape both hospitality experiences and creative practice.

Agen 25 mins by car (connects by train to Toulouse, Bordeaux, Paris, Carcasonne)
