Dish of the Day such as.....

Here are some samples of our two daily dishes. The cooks choose to cook whatever the garden has to offer, so it is not unusual to have a vegetable appearing as a soup and as a main.
Not every vegetable comes from the garden although we grow over 80 different vegetable. Sometimes the cooks use imported vegetables when there is surplus in the shop, or if there is a special offer on a vegetable in season in its country of origin. Preference is always given however, to what is growing outside the kitchen door.

Two dishes are usually offered, one is vegan.
