For 14 consecutive years, the hotel has been awarded 2 AA Rosettes for the outstanding preparation of its food and the good quality of the ingredients it uses. The food on offer is widely recognised as being some of the most forward-thinking and delicious in the area. As a food critic said recently, it is "fresh, local, seasonal and of good provenance." For over 21 years the hotel has been using fruit, vegetables and herbs from its own garden. The hotel's large working herb garden has over 100 varieties of herbs and the garden is set out in various configurations to provide continual colour and seasonal supplies to the kitchen. As well as growing a vast and unusual array of herbs in Sylvia's garden, the hotel's owners have spent many years building relationships with suppliers of quality meat and vegetables in Shropshire's fertile hills. They supply ultra-sweet lamb, aged and marbled beef, free-range Hereford ducks, traditional Gloucester Old Spot pork, Bobbington wild boar, Cox's apple juice, asparagus, summer fruits, pheasant, venison and fish from Brixham.
