Breakfast is normally available between 0730hrs - 0930hrs but if you need an earlier start, please let us know when completing your breakfast order form on arrival.

We offer "Full English" breakfast, "Continental" breakfast (croissants, toast, cheese, and sliced ham). However, we have found that our guests sometimes ask for other alternatives so we have come up with a few options. If your favourite is not here, please let us know and we will see what we can do.

Breakfast alternatives

Any kind of eggs - scrambled, boiled, poached or fried

Bacon sandwiches - toasted or otherwise

Spiced baked beans with chillis, diced bacon & poached egg

Porridge made with proper oatmeal

1/2 a freshly prepared grapefruit 'au natural' or in orange juice

Prunes in orange/apple juice

Natural yoghurt......

Apart from your choice of the above, there is, of course, a selection of cereals plus fresh toast.

We normally have a fruit compote available as well as plenty of fresh fruit.

Given notice, we cater for special diets (vegetarian, wheat/lactose free, etc)

Our sausages and bacon, whilst not organic, come with an excellent reputation! We are lucky enough to still have in Blandford Forum "Ye Olde Pork Shop". Established in 1681 and still operating from the original site, it has a large and loyal following in the area for the consistently high quality of all its pork and pork products.

Eggs are free range and sourced from Rawlings Farm at Bishops Caundle.

(For those of you who fume, as we do, at some of the idiocies of EU regulations, we hear - correct us if we are mis-informed - that eggs may only be labelled 'free range' if the chickens are not only allowed to roam freely - which is great - but are not locked up at night!! Happy nights for Mr Fox!!)

ALL of our jams and marmalades are home made.

Evening Meals

As we do not have a guest dining room, it is not our normal practice to offer evening meals. However, with notice, we will do our best to oblige......
