Cozy restaurant for families
The centerpiece of "Elginhaugh Farm" is undoubtedly the carvery, a traditional British roast dinner station available daily. Here, guests can choose from a selection of meats that have been slow-cooked for 14 hours, such as beef, turkey, or gammon, served with fluffy Yorkshire puddings, crispy roast potatoes, and a variety of freshly prepared vegetables—all complemented by a rich gravy. The "Slow-Roasted Beef" is especially popular for its tenderness and intense flavor. In addition to the carvery, there is also a selection of pub classics, such as "Fish and Chips," where the fish is deep-fried to golden perfection in a crispy beer batter, or the juicy "Gourmet Burgers," which come with creative toppings. Vegetarian and vegan guests will also find options, such as a fragrant vegetable curry that impresses with its spicy notes.
