Food & drink
Dining
One kitchen, no menu, and everything cooked to order. This is the part of the stay most guests write home about.
Sri Lankan home cooking, three times a day
Dinner is the centrepiece: a bowl of red rice surrounded by eight or nine curries (dhal, jackfruit, beetroot, green beans, cashew, a fish or chicken dish), plus pol sambol, papadam and whatever the garden gave up that morning. Nothing is pre-cooked and nothing sits under a lamp.
Breakfast runs from string hoppers and kiribath through to eggs and fruit, with good tea. Lunch is usually lighter, and often eaten in the shade by the pool.
Special diets
Vegetarian and vegan versions of everything are straightforward, and most allergies can be worked around if you let us know when you book. Meals for children are always available.
Eating around a safari
Early game drives mean early departures, so packed breakfasts go out with every dawn start and a full packed lunch comes with the full-day drive. Dinner is served whenever you get back.
Practicalities
How dining works here
Half board and full board
Breakfast is included on most rates. Add dinner, or go full board, when you book. It is the simplest option given how remote the lodge is.
Nowhere else to eat
There are no restaurants within easy reach, which is rather the point. Tell us how many meals you want and we will plan the shopping around it.
Drinks
Wine, beer and soft drinks are available at the lodge. King coconut comes straight off the property.
Hungry yet?
Book a table and a bed. Tell us your dates and any dietary needs and we will take it from there.
