Eating well - our food purpose ethos

Our purpose is to create menus that reflect what is typically eaten in each country we visit. Our chefs cook with fresh ingredients that are available seasonally, while supporting local suppliers.

Your retreat menu will be only vegetarian.

Our chefs: Our own chefs create the menus for our UK retreats and some European retreats must be mostly work with brilliant local chefs who create delicious retreat menus. These are people with many years professional experience who know how to feed you and feed you well.

Food Sources: We source our ingredients from local producers whenever we can. We avoid using supermarkets and we use imported good only when we have to. Our chefs take the time to research local suppliers to be sure they can access the best quality produce for their dishes.

Food Waist and Kitchen Recycling: We aim to create zer food waste so our menus are designed so that left overs can be safely re-used in other meals. We purchase fresh produces that is free form packaging whenever we can. In countries where this is not the norm, we ask chefs to research suppliers ahead of retreat.

Caffeine on Retreat: No coffee is served during the retreat.

Alcohol on Retreat: We don’t serve alcohol on our retreats and we request that you do not bring alcohol with you.

If having a daily glass of wine with your evening meal is importante to you, these may not be the right retreats for you!
