Food at Gartmore House – including example menu choices
Our guests agree that good food is an important part of their stay at Gartmore House. If you’re booked on one of our craft and activity breaks then full board (breakfast, lunch, dinner, morning and afternoon tea/coffee break) is included in your arrangements. We have two in-house chefs who ensure we serve up delicious, fresh and (where possible) local and seasonal fare. For dinner on your craft and activity break you will choose from three options for each course (starter, main, dessert); below are a selection of what’s been on the menu these past few weeks. Lunch is buffet-style with a starter and main (including vegetarian/vegan options if you have such dietary requirements); again, below are examples of what you can expect. If you have any dietary requirements then please let us know before your arrival, so we can ensure the team are well-prepared for you. We look forward to welcoming you to Gartmore House!
