Thorbjørnrud Hotell puts a premium on delicious ingredients and locally sourced food, with vegetables farmed nearby and a vineyard built to withstand winter temperatures. Guests can enjoy Nordic favorites as part of a four-course dinner in the hotel's elegant dining room. Classic British Victorian afternoon teas are available at the director's residence or in the new orangery. The hotel's wines, beers and cheeses can be sampled in tastings led by the resident sommelier.

Guests looking to dine, shop or relax in the local area can enjoy themselves at Hadeland Glassverk, the town's central industrial complex. Dining options include a pizzeria, bakery and waffle and pancake houses among stores selling local glassworks and museum and entertainment areas.
