Food & beverage

Breakfast is a leisurely affair with traditional full English breakfasts cooked to order, and served piping hot. You can also help yourself to the buffet, which features fresh fruit and fruit juices, yoghurts and cereals. Breakfast is accompanied by plenty of fresh, hot tea, coffee and toast.

The restaurant is also open to non-residents and provides stylish dining in an informal atmosphere. 2 light and airy rooms, both overlooking the peaceful garden, create an intimate ambience in which to relax and enjoy your food. Attentive, yet unstuffy service awaits, provided by the friendly professional team, whilst the kitchen bustles, ready to delight.

Richard heads up the kitchen team himself; working with a hands on approach and an uncomplicated cooking style, he believes in serving the very best, simple food; allowing the delicious natural flavours to speak for themselves.

With the use of fresh, local, seasonal ingredients, the menu is an eclectic mix of traditional local dishes, modern British food, and just a hint of global influences. Whatever the dish, Richard's aim is to present delicious food with a creative twist.

The well-stocked bar offers a selection of bottled beers and local bitters, favourite tipples and nightcaps. The wine list is interesting and varied and is certain to meet all tastes.
