Our top 5* hygiene and food safety accreditation has been maintained through recent assessment of North Devon District Council. And because we want to keep the team as safe as our guests we’ve revised our menu and service. Our key changes include: At breakfast, all food is plated (the majority of our meals always have been) including fruit, cereal & yoghurt We’ve revised our Brasserie dinner menu, retaining firm favourites whilst introducing some seasonal options. This allows for safer working in the kitchen.
