    Nourishing Meals for Your Retreat

    At our retreat, all your meals are lovingly prepared by Charlie and our talented in-house catering team, ensuring you’re well-fueled and relaxed throughout your stay.

    Breakfasts are a leisurely start to the day, offering a selection to suit every taste:
    A continental spread of toast, cereals, and fresh fruit.
    Gavin’s renowned porridge, perfect for a warm, hearty option.
    A full cooked English breakfast for those looking to indulge.
    Lunches are simple, wholesome, and seasonal, featuring hearty vegetable soups paired with locally sourced sourdough bread from the bakery next door to our Staveley studio.

    Each evening, Charlie delights guests with a two-course dinner showcasing the best of traditional British and Cumbrian cuisine. We take pride in featuring the fabulous local produce of the Grasmere region - dishes like comforting Shepherd’s Pie, followed by the classic indulgence of Sticky Toffee Pudding.

    Throughout your time with us, you’ll also have access to plenty of tea, coffee, and delicious homemade cakes to enjoy during class breaks or while unwinding at Thorney How.

    Dietary Accommodations
    We are happy to cater for a range of dietary needs, including vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and lactose-free diets. Additionally, we ask all participants to inform us of any allergies or intolerances, so we can provide meals that meet your requirements.

    Before your retreat begins, we’ll contact you to confirm your preferences. If you have specific dietary concerns or requirements, feel free to reach out to us directly—we’ll do our best to accommodate.

    Special Requests
    If there’s something specific you enjoy eating or drinking that might not be widely available, we recommend bringing it with you to ensure your comfort.
