There’s something for everyone - carnivore, vegetarian, special diet - just mention it on your booking form with any details, for example, if you are a vegetarian, do you still eat fish?
We serve practically everything from main dishes or plates so you take as much or as little as you like and come back for seconds or thirds.
Children can have dinner earlier than adults with a separate menu, - pasta, roasts, etc- that sort of thing - and we ask them to name their favourites so there will be no mistakes.
No decisions, no shopping, no preparing, cooking and best of all, no washing up!
There is a totally different menu every night, but if you want a repeat of a favourite or have any ideas of your own, just mention it (in advance.)
A lot of the vegetables are locally grown under fleece, so no pesticides are used and seaweed is often used as a fertiliser. Everything is home cooked, even some of the bread and apart from for example ice cream and meringues, everything is cooked at late as possible, some while you are eating the previous course.
Examples of one or two things from our extensive range.
DINNER
Please note, we suggest you bring your own wine / beer if required.
Pre-dinner nibbles; Anchovy profiterôles, crudités with bagna cauda, little onion bhajis.
Second course; Big tureen of soup; e.g.spinach and courgette, red pepper and coconut. Broccoli and Stilton soufflé, avocado and orange salad. Main course; zanzibar fish chowder. Baked chicken breast with lemon and tarragon cream sauce. Vegetarian; Spinach roulâde, hot asparagus tart. Pudding: Lemon ice cream with vanilla tuiles.Pear and almond meringue roulâde.
BREAKFAST
Help yourself to cereals (porridge as well, if you ask), fresh grapefruit or other fruit, orange juice. Traditional English (well Welsh really) breakfast. Grilled bacon, sausage, mushroom, tomato and eggs cooked the way you like - fried, scrambled, poached, boiled. Sometimes there will be kedgeree or if you like, devilled kidneys or kipper - again just ask.
Make your own toast so that it is ready when you are and have it with marmalade, jam or local honey.
Vegetarians can have something like mushrooms on toast, bananas with nuts and honey, fruit salad with muesli and yoghurt or eggs - fresh herb omelette perhaps?
Once again, all is served on big dishes so that you can help yourself along with unlimited
coffee or tea of course.You can probably give lunch a miss after this.
On the other hand, you don’t have to eat all this. A holiday is a good time to go on a diet...
The time for breakfast and dinner is mutually agreed and sometimes if the weather is warm, eaten outdoors at a long table (12feet), made from two three inch thick hunks of Welsh oak supported on even thicker hunks of elm.
Lunch is not included in the price but we can prepare a packed lunch with a day’s notice (£4 a head ) and you are more than welcome to eat your own food here - just ask for any cutlery/crockery you need.
