'Hotel News'
Welcome to our new website!
We are celebrating 100 years of Garras (the original name of the Hotel, which is Cornish, for the house on the hill) and you will be pleased to know that we are freshening things up a little bit. We have just begun a programme of enhancement, and will be gradually working our way through the hotel enhancing accommodation and refreshing our offering. But worry not, we have been careful enough to ensure that this will happen without visitors being disturbed.
Food and Drink
We have a new pick and mix Restaurant Menu which means that you can enjoy a full three course meal should you wish to indulge or simply enjoy a freshly made sandwich, a bowl of chips and a glass of crisp cool sauvignon if you fancy something light. Take a look at our sample menu on our Restaurant page.
We have also just launched our cool Cocktail List and new Wine List. Wine lovers will be able to skip around the globe enjoying fruity flavours from beautiful vine yards. Take a look on our Restaurant page and download a copy of our Wine List. You will find something for everyone and prices to please pockets of all sizes.
Sunday Lunch
Why not get away from the pressures and strains of everyday living and come and join us for a super four course Sunday lunch, priced at just £16.50 per person. Imagine Atlantic prawns with classic Marie Rose sauce, followed by Traditional Top side of Cornish Beef with Yorkshire pudding and Thyme scented gravy and round it off with a homemade Sticky Toffee Pudding... why not relax afterwards with a pot of fresh filter coffee in our 'comfy' lounge and kick back. Surely that is what Sunday's is for?
