the aga
The house and garden are meat-free.
- The Women’s Holiday Centre is self-catering and you are welcome to use the kitchen to cook for yourself at any time of day. There is an Aga (which isn’t really hot enough for most cooking) and an electric cooker.
- A wide variety of vegetarian and vegan food is available, which is included in the cost of your stay. (Please add a donation if you eat lunch or an evening meal on the day of your departure)
- Tinned/processed food is usually limited to tomatoes, sweetcorn, kidney beans and baked beans, but you are welcome to bring or buy your own preferred treats or favourites.
- A moderate amount of perishable foods such as salads and fruit is available, but more can be provided by prior arrangement. There are usually plenty of other vegetables. feel free to contact the workers to clarify any preferences you have, as the unpredictable nature of the demand for fresh food can lead to a lot of waste
- Often visitors cook together and occasionally somebody will volunteer to cook for everyone. We have a number of well-tried cookery books for inspiration! These arrangements are co-operative and informal.
- Children are welcome to cook at the house, as long as they are supervised.
- We encourage women to be allergy aware, but please let us and other guests know about any allergies you have.
Please contact the house if you have any other queries about food, or to let us know of any specific dietary needs before your stay.
