Cafe (sorry currently closed)
Our philosophy is to only serve a few seasonal meals each day, along with a selection of cakes and desserts made by us. Vegetarian food features in equal measures to meat based dishes, using the most local and most ethically reared meat available and we try hard to cater for those with gluten free or dairy free diets. By keeping our menu short, it avoids the need to buy in pre-made produce and are proud that our meals and cakes are made by us, in-house, and from scratch. We do buy a small selection of ingredients, such as gluten free bread rolls and quality prepared mayonnaise, jams and conserves. We also partner with La Patisserie and Lampeter Organics for bread and Mary’s Welsh Farmhouse for ice-cream with nothing artificial added; but we will never use cakes or meals produced in an industrial kitchen – we just don’t think it’s what our customers want. This also means that availability varies and we sometimes have to make last minute changes to our menu, so please ring us if you would like to know what’s on offer on any particular day, especially if you are interested in vegan, gluten free or dairy free dishes. Here’s a sample lunch menu which we’ll update from time to time, and Like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter to get updates on seasonal specials and new cakes.
When the Welsh sun does make an appearance, make the most of our quiet outdoor seating area, overlooking the garden and make sure you bring the family. Its set up to be as family, pushchair and wheelchair friendly as our ancient building allows, with some simple toys and drawing materials to keep little ones amused, some highchairs on hand and baby changing facilities available in our disabled-access toilet.
