  • 'Cousin's allotment salad'

    For a very short time only, we will be serving 'Cousin's salad', fresh from cousin Luke's allotment in West Sussex!

    Freshly picked purple and yellow beans with borlotti and celery, tossed in a light red onion vinaigrette, with either seeds and nuts (vegan) or glazed goats cheese (vegetarian).

    At £7.95, it's perfect for lunch, but do be quick.  We will only be able to serve this for a limited period!

    Thank you cousin Luke - not only do these taste delicious, but they look stunning too!

  • Goats Cheese Wellington - now on the menu at Green's

    Once again, we will be open this evening from 6pm, for dinner at Green's!

    Fresh on the menu is our delicious goats cheese wellington, comprising goats cheese and mediterranean vegetables.

    Cased in golden puff pastry and served with crushed potatoes and a sun blush tomato and olive salad, we think this dish is a winner!

    Perfect with a glass of chilled white wine.

  • Green's Mediterranean Salad now on the menu

    We don't wish to speak too soon, but summer might just be gracing us with its presence.  And, in celebration, we have created a very special and delicious dish to accompany the balmy weather.

    Our Mediterranean salad comprises dressed mesculum salad leaves topped with crunchy vegetables, marinated in kalamata olives, sunblush tomatoes and served with a choice of warm glazed goats cheese, grilled chicken or our very own homemade garlicky hummus!

    With a crunchy multi grain roll on the side, we think we've got a winner!

    Do pop in, sit on the sunny terrace and join us for lunch.  We'll see you there!

  • The 'Top Ten Fills to Hit the Hills' - our Food for Fuel Campaign

    We are delighted to launch our new 'Food for Fuel' Campaign - The 'Top Ten Fills to Hit the Hills'!

    Our top ten high-energy dishes are aimed at providing the best possible nutritional values for those seeking a healthy and active lifestyle.  The campaign focuses primarily on walkers visiting the local area and gives a guide on food to eat prior to walking, such as Yoghurt Parfait with Homemade Granola; food to eat whilst on the move, such as Very Veggie Wrap with Homemade Hummus, Shredded Vegetables, Homemade Chutney, Seeds and Dried Fruits; and food for recovery, such as Three Bean Chilli.

    Karen and Rob have developed Greens into one of Grasmere’s most popular establishments and as we all know, already specialise in providing for those with very specific dietary requirements.

    “We are delighted to be launching this new ‘food for fuel’ campaign and hope it will prove to be a helpful guide for those planning an active day out in the Lake District.” says Karen.  “We already specialise in healthy, seasonal comfort food, and are a very popular choice for those who come to the Lakes to walk and climb.  We are frequently asked which particular foods will benefit a day on the fells, so providing a concise list of nutritious high energy food seemed a logical step.  Although aimed primarily at walkers, we believe that everyone, including young people, can learn about the benefits of good nutrition and how food can impact the body’s performance.”

    So, Greens' 'Top Ten Fills to Hit the Hills' are:

    Before Your Ascent:

    1. Porridge with Brown Sugar and Cinnamon

    2. Yoghurt Parfait with Homemade Granola

    3. Cumbrian Breakfast (Vegetarian Available)

     On the Move:

    4. Homemade Fruity Flapjack with Apricots and Raisins

    5. Wholemeal Sandwich with Hummus and Olives

    6. Very Vegetarian Wrap with Seeds and Dried Fruits

    The Big Recovery:

    7. Three Bean Chilli

    8. Vegetarian, Vegan or Meat Shepherds Pie with Fresh Vegetables

    9. Sticky Toffee Pudding (Gluten-Free Available)

    10. Chocolate Brownie (Vegetarian/Gluten-Free Available) with Soya Ice Cream

  • Quinoa - Unique and Healthy at Greens

    We couldn't be accused of being 'ordinary' at Greens and our latest dish is certainly testament to that!  Currently on our menu, our 'Warm Roasted Vegetable and Quinoa Salad' is both unique and healthy.

    Comprising quinoa, roasted vegetables, cranberries, apricots, toasted nuts and seeds with a tahini and yoghurt dressing, this unusual recipe is seriously tasty and super-healthy too!

    For those not in the know, quinoa is usually considered to be a wholegrain, but is actually a seed, although it can be prepared like rice or barley.  A staple food in South America for thousands of years, quinoa has the highest protein content of all wholegrains, so it's perfect for vegetarians and vegans.  It also provides all 9 essential amino acids and is both gluten-free and cholesterol-free.

    So, there you are.  Everything we know about quinoa.  Just don't ask us to pronounce it!
