Their produce is sourced from their own organic farm in the New Forest growing over 300 different varieties of fruit and vegetables and farm sheep, beef, pigs, chicken and geese. After being brought over to the island on their own boat "Ned Kelly" their food is prepared fresh each day. Expect to find hearty breakfasts of sizzling free range bacon, egg and sausage combos with oven roasted tomatoes, mouth-watering bagels or healthy muesli and poached fruit pots.

Lunches are savoury tarts, seasonal salads and a selection of daily baguettes are served until 5pm. Alternatively pre-order your Floating Lunch to collect in the morning and take on board.
