Change our menu with each season. Utilise recipes from nations across the world where we believe we can stimulate you appetite and please your palate. If you are in a hurry would you please note that all of our food including in particular the main courses are freshly cooked for you, so please allow 20 minutes for most main courses. We hope you enjoy this season s selection and welcome your feedback. We invite you to take a walk through our vineyard and down to our vegetable garden. Alternatively, enjoy a game of boules during or after your meals. Bon appétit
