Tasty Home-made Vegetarian and Vegan Food
All food is vegetarian and extremely tasty, cooked with love. Meals are prepared fresh on the day. Everything is vegetarian - no meat, fish or eggs. Most preparations are vegan (Dairy-free). The food is a combination of Indian vegetarian (e.g. samosas, curries, basmati rice, etc, etc.) and 'Western' vegetarian (e.g. pizza, salads, pasta, soups, etc).
We cater to any special diets for allergies and intolerances.
In case you're a yogi, Vaishnava or someone familiar with a 'sattvic' diet, we don't use the following ingredients: onions, garlic, mushrooms, vinegar and alcohol. In Ayurveda these ingredients may be prescribed for medicinal or other uses, but are not generally consumed by hatha or bhakti yogis. If that sounds 'restrictive' then you might find you have a lot to learn about non-European cookery!

We have a polytunnel and a vegetable garden for growing our food. During the growing season, we use our own organic potatoes, carrots, courgettes, peppers, corns, tomatoes, beetroots, cucumbers, French beans, and some herbs in preparing the dishes.
a small selection of the spices we may use. Many spices aid digestion (and general health and well being) in subtle ways.
