Meals & Menus
Our bright, airy dining room overlooks the garden. Enjoy your meals on your own individual table, though we are happy to move tables together for groups. Breakfast includes a wide choice of juices, cereals, porridge and fresh fruit salad. Cooked breakfasts range from the traditional English breakfast (vegetarian and gluten-free options are available) to smoked salmon on scrambled eggs, kippers, smoked haddock or croissants.
Traditional evening meals are offered daily (except Wednesdays) with a choice of starter, main course and dessert, and to finish cheese and biscuits, tea or coffee and a mint chocolate. The 2019 price for three courses plus cheese and biscuits and a hot drink is £23.90 per person, or £21.90 for those staying a week or more. A two-course option, which also includes cheese and biscuits and a hot drink, is available for £18.90, or £17.90 for weekly guests. Children under 15 are charged half price. The meals are freshly cooked to order and served at 6.30pm. The menu changes each day of the week.
Please mention any dietary requirements in advance and we will be happy to offer alternatives where required. We can serve a variety of alcoholic and soft drinks either before or with your meal and have a selection of wines available by the glass or bottle.
