The Kitchen Range
As you may not be too keen on doing your cooking yourself every day of your holiday, we have available a choice of excellent home-cooked meals - listed below. A menu for these will be sent with acknowledgement of your booking.
Annie Owston, our chef, used to run a restaurant with her sister in Cardiff in the seventies. In the eighties and nineties, after moving to Pembrokeshire, she ran her own successful restaurant in Freystrop.
Having retired from the restaurant business, Annie kept her hand in: giving cookery demonstrations and courses, catering at weddings and parties, relief-cheffing, and working in a local delicatessen (and that is were we met her for the first time).
Apart from her love of cooking, Annie loves Pembrokeshire, walks every day and reads a lot. Her other great passion is opera and she thinks nothing of travelling abroad to see a great performance.
In her cooking, she always uses fresh, local ingredients. She procures her fish from Milford Docks and gets her meat from a local butcher. She is an experienced forager. She also regularly raids friends’ vegetable plots, with their permission of course.
If you have an allergy, she can usually cater for you as well. Let us know and she can quote for the required dishes.
If you have a family or friends gathering and would like to have specific dishes prepared for a larger group, just let us know well in advance and Annie will be able to quote for those as well.
