talents and knowledge bases has made Shaw’s restaurant the success that it is today.

Special attention is always given to using the very best locally produced seasonal fruit & vegetables and prime cuts of meat from the most reputable of butchers. This coupled with the highest standards of preparation and service creates a most pleasurable experience every time.

Finally it’s not just a coincidence that the wine cellar is stocked with fine wines from around the globe to please the palate and complement the fine cuisine whether it be traditional roast beef & yorkshire pudding, fine french cuisine or an expedition to the Orient. Try a dessert wine to round off your selection from the exquisite sweet trolley to finish your meal.

The residents' menu is changed every other day to compromise between maximum choice and the chance to try more than one dish. The à la Carte menu is changed to reflect the best available produce in the relevant season.


Our restaurant, serving both residents & nonresidents, has menus that reflect our own taste for the best in english and french cuisine, both traditional and innovative, using the finest fresh ingredients. A wide selection of wines are available to accompany your meal.
