Breakfast is buffet-style and
includes home-made granola, freshly baked croissants, seasonal fruit, yogurt, tea and freshly brewed coffee. Full English
breakfast is available on request (€8).
Meals can be eaten in the
dining room or in fine weather – most of the summer - can be eaten outside
in the garden.
Evening meals (from €25) are usually
three or four courses (with coffee) and can include such favourites as:

Twice baked goat’s cheese soufflé with
red onion marmalade
Cooked oysters served on a bed of
sautéed leeks with a parmesan topping
Mixed seafood salad with Thai dressing
Chicken in a Pineau des Charentes sauce
Seared salmon served on a fennel and tomato gratin with a chive sauce
Lamb served with an orange and mint sauce

Coffee cognac pannacottas servedwith flambéed strawberries
Trio of chocolate - mousse, ice cream and dipped strawberries
Apple cheesecake served with toffee sauce
 And sometimes to finish, cherries soaked in cognac for 3 years and then dipped in toffee and dark chocolate - yummy
All our sauces, chutneys and
marmalades are home-made, even the ice-cream.
We take pride in using locally
sourced ingredients such as fresh fish and oysters from Charente Maritime,
lamb from Limousin, and cheeses, meat, vegetables and salads
from the market inJarnac or the nearby farm shop. Meals include
a couple of glasses of local wine (red, white or rosé). In addition to serving French
food and local specialities we also like to use recipes that we have
collected during our travels overseas.
