Booking - Timing, Tariff

 

The Day Visit to Silver Oak Farm offers a very pleasant experience and is becoming increasingly popular, especially with the speed with which the Expressway brings you here. Just the joy of being in such a picturesque location, away from the noise and pollution of the City is invigorating.

 

We take bookings for Day Visits on Saturdays and Sundays and on a few selected holidays. There is no entrance fee, we charge you only for the meals you make a booking for.

 

As we like to give each of our guest adequate time and space we limit the bookings to keep the gathering not too large. Booking should be made at least one day in advance. The ambience is like a House Party giving you an opportunity to meet some interesting people and make new friends. We try to offer you the kind of hospitality we would give our house guests.

 

Therefore, as at any House Party, everyone eats together and our meal timings are: 

 

9:00 am for breakfast,

1:30 pm for lunch

5:00 pm for tea and

8:30 pm for the dinner.

 

Buffet counters for breakfast, lunch and tea will be wound up one hour from commencement of service.

 

Meal charges are as follows:

  • Buffet breakfast Rs 350/- per head
  • Indian buffet lunch Rs 550/- per head
  • Tea/Coffee with light snack will cost Rs 150/- per person
  • Bookings for dinner are offered for a minimum of 12 adults and should be requested at least 10 days in advance. Price will be quoted as per choice of menu. 

Children below 3 yrs are not charged, while those below 10 yrs will pay half for breakfast and lunch, but full charge for tea.

 

Please check out Sample Menu page for more details.

 

You may bring any hard liquor/wines you wish to drink to your table.  We do not charge corkage.  You will please not bring your own soft drinks and mixes.  These (including tonic water) are available with us at reasonable prices.  Consumption of food brought with you is not permitted.

 

Service charge @ 10% will be charged on the total bill.

 

Please note that once your booking is accepted there is no option for cancellation. 

 

Payment can be made in advance through an online internet transfer or by a cheque deposit.   As we are a homestay facility we do not have an arrangement to take credit cards. So, for any extras, you can pay cash here.

 

To make a booking, please call Praveen Khanna on +91 98456 52267 stating date of intended visit, meals requested, number of adults, number of children aged 9 years and below (with ages), details of vegetarians/non vegetarians.

 

Special menu parties:

 

Requests for booking of parties with special menus will be entertained for groups exceeding 10 adults. These will be quoted for based on the menu.

 

Opportunity to buy our very popular Farm Produce: 

 

Meera produces an excellent, wide range of Fruit Cordials, Jams, Jellies, Marmalades and Pickles, made from fruit and vegetables organically grown at Silver Oak Farm.

 

 

Local sight-seeing attractions and exciting activities:

 

Ask Praveen to help you with how to make the best use of your time. You can visit the Village Pottery unit and try your hand at the Potter's Wheel; or surprise yourself with what you will see at the Silk Reeling unit, both of which are open only forenoon.

 

The other eye-opener is the Bhoganadishwara Temple at Nandi Village, which you can visit any time of the day.

 

Starting from our Farm, you can take yourself on one of the most scenic treks, going up Nandi Hills. Within the Farm itself, take a walk into our Organic Garden where we grow a variety of fruits and vegetables.

 

Between 10:30 and 11am, by prior appointment, Praveen will be happy to show you our Aquaponic Cultivation Unit.

 

What is there for Children? Apart from the Village Pottery and the Silk reeling unit, they will love the scenic walk up Nandi Hills, the walk into our Organic Garden as well as the Aquaponic Cultivation Unit. Just the openness of the space and clean fresh air does wonders for them. They will be in good company of our dogs who love children and will enjoy making friends with 'Torty', our pet Tortoise. Many of them spend a lot of time on our Black Board with coloured chalk.

 

After you arrive, we may have more suggestions about some other interesting current events or attractions from time to time.

 

As you can see there is plenty of scope for a very exciting time on our Day visits. So make that call to Praveen on +91 98456 52267 to discuss your Day Visit with him.
