The Old School Guest House Dining room
Dining at the Old School House

Light and airy, our well appointed dining room is decorated with original art works and quality prints. The food we offer is freshly prepared and ranges from traditional English with a contemporary twist to international. We use local suppliers and quality products as much as possible. Where we need to buy goods or food items then we buy recognised established brands such as Heinz, Kellogg’s etc. We do not use ‘value’ items and pile-the-plate like many other establishments.

During the ‘growing season’ (we are still learning..) we produce our own tomatoes, lettuces, spring onions and hope to add potatoes, and green beans (and more) for 2012.

Evening dinners are available and booking in advance is essential. Chris, our Chef was trained at Leith’s School of Food and Wine in London, where he obtained his Diploma. Chris also has a level 2 award from WSET in Wines and Spirits.

Breakfast is included in your room rate and is probably the best breakfast in the whole of the Southwest! Yummy!
