A Culinary Passion
Recognised by
Waitrose

Featured in Waitrose Food Illustrated, Sarah’s journey from a mother and homemaker to the owner of a successful bed and breakfast is nothing short of inspiring. The magazine highlighted the warmth and charm that Sarah has brought to Old Whyly, where guests are treated like family and the kitchen is the heart of the home. Sarah’s approach to cooking, where “simplicity is key,” shines through in the dishes she prepares. Her panna cotta terrine, a perfect example of her culinary philosophy, is a dish that demonstrates both elegance and ease, using fresh, local ingredients.
