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! Kick start your day with fresh filtered coffee or tea (including infusions) Choose from a selection of fruit juices and cereals PLUS a choice of hot food: English breakfast – includes free-range egg (we cook them as you want them), dry cure back bacon, black pepper pork sausage, mushrooms, tomato (freshly picked in season). Alternative choices: 2 eggs and 2 dry cure bacon rashers Poached eggs on English muffin The Canadian - pancakes, crispy bacon & fried egg with Maple syrup Omelettes (cheese or mushroom) Mushrooms on toast Eggs Benedict on Field mushroom with English muffin and Hollandaise sauce Scrambled eggs on toast Toast is served with a selection of homemade marmalade and jams We also serve fried bread, black pudding, hogs pudding and baked beans (Heinz) but only on request (cuts down on waste – not everyone likes them)! All our eggs are Free-range and cooked as you like! Our local dry cure bacon and sausages come from the award winning butcher, Howells of Tavistock, situated in the Pannier Market. Just in case you want to buy some of those lovely black pepper sausages! |
