We pride ourselves on the excellence of our food. Most of the ingredients are sourced locally. The freshest fish from Weligama Bay is, of course, a joy; and we also have a wide variety of fruit and vegetables growing on the plantation. Nothing can beat the taste of just-picked papaya at breakfast time.

We offer a choice of Sri Lankan or Western breakfast. But whether you choose eggs and bacon or a prawn curry with roti, you will enjoy a platter of fruit and freshly squeezed juice first.

Lunch tends to be traditional Sri Lankan curry and rice (it is rarely “hot” but the spiciness is always adjustable!). We pride ourselves in serving the best for miles around, and in creating a repast which reflects the balance traditional to the meal. All our chutneys are homemade.

Afternoon tea is served on request – using Handunugoda Tea, from our neighbouring Lowland Tea Estate. At drinks time, it’s nice to try a “short eat” – fish cutlets, perhaps.

Dinner can be Western or Sri Lankan, or a mixture of both. It is normally served, in style, in the dining room. Start with a Mount Cinnamon Sour! For special occasions, crab can be ordered the night before. They come from the lagoon or Koggala Lake – and are quite simply the best in the world. Lobster is also available.

Naturally, vegetarians are catered for, and there is a microwave for preparing baby food.

For wines, we find South African wines drink well in the Sri Lankan climate, and the house red (Cabernet Sauvignon) and white (Chardonnay) are both bottled by KWV. Fine wines are also available.
