The Green Bear Guesthouse

People often ask what we normally eat — and most days it’s something simple, healthy and quick between looking after guests.
But tonight was our first night off in quite a while, so we treated ourselves to the opposite.
A proper spread, cooked just for us, and the perfect chance to try out our new XO sauce alongside a bowl of our housemade kimchi.
No timing, no pressure… just good food and a quiet evening to enjoy it.

At The Green Bear we love turning simple things into something special.
This week’s project: a slow‑cooked vegan XO made from butternut squash skins, shiitake and Korean chilli.
Zero‑waste, full‑flavour, and the perfect finishing spoonful for our butternut soup.

Small details, big difference. 💚

New dessert on tonight’s menu: Warm apple friand, custard, apple compote, crumble and honeycomb ice cream.
Warm, cold, soft, crisp — all the good contrasts on one plate (Gluten Free).
