Food that fits the rhythm of your stay🌿
Most things in our kitchen take a little time. Chapatti is rolled by hand. Juice is blended when you order it. Vegetables arrive from our garden and nearby markets & farms.
We don't aim to be complicated. We simply try to prepare good food with ingredients we know and people who care about the result.
After hiking, training or a long day on the road, that usually does the job.
Open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
MEET THE CHEFS👨🏽🍳
Peter and Charles are behind most of what arrives on your table.
Their work ranges from early-morning breakfasts and packed lunches for hikers to handmade pizzas, vegetarian dishes and dinners for larger groups.
Like most good kitchens, things don't always go exactly according to plan. The availability of ingredients change with the season, guests arrive late from their previous destination and sometimes a hungry runner suddenly needs a lot more food than expected.
That's part of the fun and flexibility.

Arabica from the slopes around us☕
Surrounded by Mount Elgon’s Arabica coffee farms, we start every morning with exceptional beans.
Our guests often tell us it’s the best cup in the region. We simply brew it with care.
