Cook

Jackie
Cook
Not a weekend goes by without Jackie being asked for the recipe for her splendid, warming and hearty home made soups - apparently it's a trade secret and she's not telling! Jackie'll make sure that you're so well fed and comfortably full of good home cooked food that you won't want to leave!

Julia in the bar

Julia Gulia - you'll love her!  Julia is our very lovely, very welcoming and friendly hospitality assistant, who'll meet and greet you, through to serving you with a wide range of local tipples!

Interesting fact: vegetable scraps from kitchen go home with Julia - get fed to the chickens - who then lay eggs - which Julia then brings in for your breakfast - yum!
