Our Hospitality: At Lloyds, the welcome and every aspect of the service has our personal attention. Many guests say that it is like staying in the home of good friends. Our part time staff : who help with cleaning, ironing and dinner service : are similarly very committed to, and intensely proud of the high standards of cleanliness, comfort and hospitality.
Lloyds has an array of individual touches, but is neither quaint nor grand. We recognise our limitations. For instance, the quite narrow, steep staircase to the bedroom floors; our town location : a plus to many, especially as it is so friendly, unspoilt and law abiding : and no off street parking. No bar : we have a licence of course and serve drinks in the sitting room, restaurant or your bedroom. There are several good pubs within a short walk. Dinner must be booked well in advance: the only way we can provide the memorable meal guests regularly return to Lloyds to enjoy.
Breakfast is cooked to order while you read a complimentary newspaper or plan the day. Our bacon and sausages are from a prize winning local supplier. It is helpful to know in advance if you are a vegetarian or vegan or require non dairy or glutton-free products, so that we can offer greater choice.
Our Restaurant: Dining at Lloyds is a leisurely occasion, an evening to linger over delicious, freshly prepared dishes, made especially for you. The menu is a surprise one, from a very wide ranging and steadily growing repertoire : the inspiration comes from personal favourites, a diverse collection of recipe books, regularly added to, and dictionaries of international cuisine. British and European influences are perhaps the strongest.
We take into account any likes and dislikes you tell us about, particularly diets and special requests, what is best for the time of the year, available locally and, for returning guests, endeavour to prepare a different menu. When organic supplies are available, we generally use those out of preference. Our vegetable dishes receive special attention and guests comment particularly on them. We do not have a microwave, no stand-by stock to call upon, nor do we use commercially prepared, chilled or frozen foods.
The time of dinner is agreed when you book, taking account of your wishes, and those of other guests. We can only mange one sitting. We offer a range of pre-dinner drinks, lager or bitter, around 70 wines chosen from Tanners' cellars to represent most styles and varieties, a selection of liqueurs and other after-dinner drinks.
Your Hosts: Roy is the chef - but he does emerge from the kitchen at quieter moments. Tom is front-of-house and generally greets guests and serves at table.
