Food

Nutrition is a cornerstone of Ayurveda, as food is considered both a potential cause of disease and a powerful tool for healing. In Ayurveda, many foods, especially spices, are seen as medicinal, and our carefully curated menu reflects this philosophy. Designed by our Ayurvedic doctors, the meals follow specific guidelines on timing, portion sizes, and preparation methods to ensure they are easily digestible and help balance the body's doshas.

Meal overview:

Breakfast:

Light and easy to digest, typically a variation of porridge with fruits, aligned with Ayurveda's belief that the digestive fire (agni) is weaker in the morning.

Lunch:

The main meal of the day, with larger portions often based around rice, served when the digestive capacity is strongest.

Dinner:

A lighter meal served early in the evening to support digestion and promote restful sleep.

Your meals are freshly prepared on-site in our farm kitchen, using organic and locally sourced British ingredients blended with traditional Ayurvedic and Sri Lankan recipes. The dishes are primarily plant-based, featuring vegetables, grains, and beans, which are mild and balancing for all doshas. The meals are vegetarian, gluten-free, and free from refined sugars, artificial products, and preservatives. We can provide vegan options and cater to specific dietary needs upon request—just let us know in advance.

While portion sizes may initially seem smaller and lighter than you are accustomed to, this approach helps the body feel lighter and the mind clearer over time. Our meals are designed not just to nourish, but to harmonize and rejuvenate, enhancing your overall retreat experience.

We also serve a welcome drink, along with water and a selection of herbal teas available throughout the day. Our commitment to Ayurvedic nutrition aims to support your journey toward improved health and well-being, allowing you to experience the profound benefits of eating in alignment with nature. Our food is so popular that it has inspired our very own cookbook, allowing you to continue enjoying our recipes at home!
