Grendon Breakfast and Dinner
Breakfast
The truly authentic English B & B experience would not be complete without a really good breakfast. Just as well then that Grendon is the proud owner of an AA egg cup, symbol in its annual guide of the proven quality of an establishment’s breakfast. Whether enthusiastic omnivore or confirmed vegetarian, at Grendon we spoil you for choice. Have a wholesome start to the day with home-made muesli, some fruit and toast with home-made bread, or build your morning meal around the classic Full English. Either way, enjoy, whatever morning food you love!
He that looketh on a plate of ham and eggs to lust after it hath
already committed breakfast with it in his heart.

Dinner
Dinner is a feast of home cooking using locally sourced ingredients. However, dinner is offered to guests as an additional option. We do not, as a rule, offer a full half-board vacation, ie, dinner on several consecutive evenings. Do ring me to talk about dinner before you arrive. We of course will do our level best to give you what you need - nothing is impossible!
Dinner is priced at:
£15 for 2 courses
£17 for 3 courses
You are welcome to bring your own wine to the table – no charge for corkage.

What some call health, if purchased by perpetual anxiety about
diet, isn’t much better than tedious disease.
