Food and drink is one of the highlights of any stay at Mount Hartman Bay Estate. We grow a lot of fruit and vegetables on the Estate, including passion fruit, coconuts, water melons, papaya, mangoes, bananas, golden apple, oranges, limes, pumpkins, tomatoes, callaloo, dasheen and almonds, and we take pride in serving what we’ve grown.
With a population of only around 90,000 in Grenada, not everything is available in the shops all the time, so every day members of our staff scour the markets and shops to find the best, fresh local ingredients available, that we haven’t grown. We have good relationships with the local fishermen and get the pick of the catch.
But once we have the ingredients, Chef Roger takes over to weave his special magic. If they’re on the menu, it’s always worth trying those dishes, which you’ve always said that you don’t like, because he has a way of making you reconsider your lifelong prejudices. Suddenly you understand why other people have always liked them.
Breakfast is the one meal that people are most particular (peculiar?) about or have the most preconceptions about what they must have before they can face the day.To date, the kitchen has never been beaten; within 24 hours, often quicker, they’ve succeeded in fulfilling any request that’s been thrown at them.We’ve even had guests stay up at night dreaming up new challenges for the following morning and, even then, they’ve been satisfied within a day. We also have a few specialities of our own – a Mexican, a Peruvian or a Welsh. Don’t ask, just try them!

Lunch is a casual affair. Often served outdoors, the menu choices are relatively light unless you request otherwise. We often recommend a rose wine or, as the Americans coyly call it, a blush, with lunch. Delightfully chilled and not too heavy for lunchtime, it seems to be eminently quaffable. Our most popular blush, from California, is even more confusingly called a white Zinfandel!
Another opportunity to savour the culinary delights of Mount Hartman Bay Estate. Slightly more formal than lunch and, out of courtesy to our other guests, we prefer to have no shorts or t-shirts at dinner. Our list of house wines runs to a choice of over fifteen varieties; on top of that we have another thirty in our premium wine selection.
Our all day bar serves wines, beers, soft drinks, water and cocktails, plus tea and coffee. Choose from our cocktail menu, try a banana beauty, a Bentley turbo, a Margarita, a Dark & Light or invent your own.
If we haven’t been able to anticipate you feeling peckish or wanting a cup of tea or coffee, a snack or a sandwich (we make our own bread), then all you have to do is ask. If you’d like to try it, we prepare our own ginger tea, deliciously refreshing hot or cold with fresh ginger, cloves and cinnamon.
