Our Breakfast

All Breakfast made with fresh locally sourced produce

The key to a good breakfast is freshness and we are very spoiled for fresh local produce in The South Hams, especially here in Dittisham. The ingredients for a superb English breakfast are all available here with locally sourced sausages, bacon and eggs topping the list. In addition we always have a selection of cereals, yoghurt, fruit and fruit juices, good quality teas and ground coffee.
