We have several menu options.

1. The Penobscot Restaurant is a ten seat, degustation only dining experience seated at the Chefs Table. The individually plated fine dining menu changes ever so slightly almost daily, and evolves over time. Dietaries can be easily accommodated.
2. The Watervale Hotel a la carte menu items also change regularly. There is a wide range of small and larger plates, many designed to be shared. There are also individual complete meals such as steaks and burgers. 
3. The Feed Me menu is derived from the a la carte menu with some additional snacks. The Chefs select the daily Feed Me, but will accommodate for dietaries and preferences.
4. Feast Menus are for larger groups as a shared plate banquet style meal. 

Given our obsession with freshness and nutrient density, the Watervale Hotel menus all change regularly with seasonality and availability. We can change our menus several times a week, so the example menus are indicative of our style of food and price-points. 

Whether from Penobscot Farm or one of our other farm partners, the produce and its provenance is always the hero of the plate. The Chef’s job is to enhance and enrich the flavour and create complimentary combinations. This is why we use different salads or vegetables for each dish, and our own house made dressings, sauces and stocks.

We use the best quality ingredients we can find, preferring to buy locally and from ethical producers. It’s a balancing act. We are quite prepared to trade-off profitability for our ethics, but not to compromise the quality of food on the plate!

Our a la carte menu is a assortment of choices, an epicurean map, but you choose the trail. There are small dishes and large, meat, fish, vegetarian options, as well as a good range of options for vegan and coeliac patrons.

We have special events, often on Sundays, when we light the ‘Fires of Hell’ or fire up the wood oven that create unique experiences at different times.

Our front of house make good trail guides. They can also advise on wine or non-alcoholic food matches.

We encourage children to try food from the healthy and diverse menu by offering singles and small plates.

We find that by offering groups of children sharing plates they can all find something they love in addition to our amazing thrice cooked chips, and often something they have not tried before. They can even share multiple different ice-creams for dessert. 

That said, we offer a Kids Menu and Kids Feast.
