Warm Up This Winter with Our Hot Drinks by the Fire

There’s nothing quite like the quiet comfort of a warm drink on a cold winter’s day. At The Great White House, we’re embracing the chill with all the cosy things that make this season worth settling into - starting with a steaming cup of something good in front of the fire. Whether it’s a well-made coffee or a decadent hot chocolate, it’s the kind of warmth that starts from your hands and works its way in.

And then there’s the soup. It’s not on the menu, and it’s never really planned. Someone in the kitchen makes the call when the cold creeps in just that little bit more. It’s always something simple, something hearty. No fuss, just warmth in a bowl, served with bread of the day. Perfect for the kind of days when the sky stays grey and the wind doesn’t let up.

Whether you're coming in from an ocean adventure or just stopping by to defrost, our fireplace is always glowing and ready to welcome you. Sit back, soak in the warmth, and let one of our hot drinks thaw you from the inside out.
