Food & Drink
Let us cook for you so that you can relax with the knowledge that everything is taken care of – no food shopping, cooking or washing up!
What ever your reason for staying with us - a celebration, a reunion or perhaps a yoga retreat -our wonderful chef Ken is on hand to serve up a menu that perfectly compliments the occasion. Exclusive use includes breakfast for all guests but Tall John’s House has so much more to offer! Below you will discover the ways that we can make your stay a truly memorable occasion.
We make every effort to use locally-produced and locally-sourced ingredients - whether it be award winning local Welsh cheese or delicious smoked salmon from the local Black Mountains Smokery. We strive to use our own fruit and vegetables grown in our traditional walled garden and thereby encourage our guests to eat as seasonally as possible.
Breakfast
Exclusive use includes breakfast for all guests. Start your day off with a guilt-free and healthy choice of our home-made granola, muesli or piping hot porridge. This could be followed by our fresh fruit salad, perhaps with a sprinkling of nuts or seeds or some refreshing yogurt.
For those wishing to indulge themselves try our hearty Welsh breakfast of local sausages, bacon, tomatoes, mushrooms, fried bread and free-range eggs prepared any way you like.
Of course no breakfast would be complete without a choice of cereals, toast and croissants accompanied by honey, our home-made jams and marmalades. And to drink? Enjoy a variety of fruit juices, teas and coffees.
Dinner
Our in house chef can provide lunches, teas, children’s suppers, light 2 course suppers or entertain your guests with a full 3 course dinner with canapés beforehand. Our experienced cook will be delighted to work with you to provide a package that suits your party. Our sample menu gives you an idea of our house specials.
Treat Yourself
Our wonderful chef, Ken, is a great baker. There is always a slice of cake waiting to welcome you to Tall John’s House. Birthday cakes and afternoon teas are available on request.
Drinks
Guests are very welcome to bring their own drinks and we don’t charge corkage. Our smart Jockey Bar has a fridge available to chill your drinks, as well as tea and coffee. Ice, lemons and limes are available on request.
