Residential Courses at Halsway Manor

Meals

Meals are prepared each day by our dedicated team of chefs. Dinners are booked in advance and cooked to order so that we can minimise food waste. Although we cannot cater to individual likes and dislikes, we take dietary requirements very seriously. If you tell us in advance that you have specific needs, the chef on duty will prepare a meal for you, taking these into account.

Here’s an example of what you’ll find on offer:

• Breakfast
  Fruit juice, cereals, fruit, toast and preserves, plus cooked breakfast.

• Lunch
  Quiche with a selection of salads, and fresh fruit,

• Dinner
  Choice of two mains - one meat or fish-based, and one meat-free, plus a choice of two desserts.

Please note that, unless you have told us you can’t or don’t eat meat, there isn’t an option on the first evening as we begin preparations before you arrive and only prepare meat-free mains for those on our dietary restrictions list.

Wi-fi

If we had a pound for every time we were asked about connectivity at Halsway… we’d have a lot of pounds!

Wifi is usually available in the Bar and Main Hall. We say ‘usually’, because sometimes our remote location affects our connection to the internet, and if there’s no Wifi, it’s out of our control. We can’t get online in the office either, if it’s any consolation!

We also get a lot of questions about why we don’t put wifi in the bedrooms and the Mews. There are a couple of reasons for this conscious choice:

• Getting a signal all the way around the house and across the car park would only be worthwhile if we knew we could provide a really reliable connection in every room, which we can’t guarantee.

• And more importantly, we want Halsway to continue to be a place where you can shut off the outside world, properly meet and get to know other people, and where socialising reigns supreme. So no sneaking off to watch Netflix!
