Given how we started - that original concept of being a space just for group yoga retreats - we never went too deep into fancy a la carte dining. We thought better to create great sharing menus that showed off Sri Lankan styles and were, really, all the better for eating happily ‘en masse’.

That’s still the ethos; we have a main set menu for the day (which we’ll share each morning) and will go with that if you’re happy enough (most people tend to be).

If what we have planned is really not suitable our guys in the kitchen will do their very best to tweak to something else.

Set menus at Ruk

Breakfast - breakfast in fact is the one meal for which we do have a simple a la carte menu; currently including tropical smoothie bowl, eggs and avocado or pol (coconut sambal) and hummus and mushroom toast. (If ordering the night before we can prepare a lovely Sri Lankan style breakfast.)

We’ll also serve the same home-prepped granola, spreads, curd and treacle each day.

Lunch - with breakfast never terribly early we tend towards quite light lunches - big fresh salads and light pastas; normally Western stuff but all freshly made and with local ingredients.

If the sun’s out we might try and serve lunch in the garden or even down by the boat shed with views over the lake - a nice cool shady spot in the middle of the day.

Dinner - for dinners we celebrate Sri Lankan flavours with delicious curries.

Our menus change a little as the seasons do but here’s a link to a sample that shows the kind of things we offer.

Other stuff

Drinks - we don’t have a full alcohol license but you’re welcome to bring alcohol with you. We have a simple menu of soft drinks.
