Meadery

Particularly common in Cornwall, a meadery is a restaurant that serves mead wine and food with a medieval ambiance.

A meadery would typically be in the style of a banquet hall, having wooden flooring, heavy wooden tables made from the trunk of a tree, lit by candlelight with white-painted granite walls. Fare such as a turkey leg is served on a large wooden plate and is to be eaten by hand. A lemon floating in a bowl of water is used to clean the hands along with serviettes. Food is served by "barefoot wenches".
