Guests who arrive late at night, or who did not order a meal before arriving may choose from the snack menu, usually a bowl of soup or a toasted sandwich.

Guests can choose to have their meals on the dining veranda, in the garden, or by the pool. If it is raining, meals are served indoors.

Allen designs the Pineapple menu, catering for vegetarians, vegans, guests with allergies, gluten or lactose intolerance, and other dietary requirements. If you have special concerns please discuss them with Allen and she will do her best to make sure you have the food you need.

A range of tasty meals is offered using our home-grown produce as much as possible. Our orchard produces mangoes, avocados, lemons, papaw (also known as papaya- a squeeze of lemon or lime helps to bring out the flavour), watermelon, mulberries, cape gooseberries, and the occasional strawberry!

The vegetable garden produces lettuce, tomatoes, courgettes, butternut squash, cabbage, onions, garlic, green pepper, eggplant, and sweet potato while the herb garden outside the kitchen has parsley, thyme, basil, rosemary, and mint. All these appear in season and what we do not have ourselves we usually find in the local markets.

We make our own granola and marmalade and our sourdough bread comes from a company called Brood.  Residents may invite guests to join them for drinks or meals and if you have a special occasion, please discuss it with Allen who will be happy to arrange any special touches for you.
