The restaurant has a fresh farmhouse interior, with cream walls and red pantiles, and boasts an open view of the garden. |
For example, while the original roof structure was rotten, the pantiles were able to be reused and now greatly enhance the aged appearance of the exterior. |
All the gneiss roofing slates have vanished, to be replaced by pantiles painting patchworks of all possible orange hues. |
In one corner various heaps of clay had been piled up, destined for tiles and pantiles, and a stack of brushwood and logs lay in another part of the enclosure. |
Some old, underfired clay pantiles might be damaged by button mosses rooting in cracks and fissures. But most post-war tiles are hard enough to withstand a bit of moss growth. |
The pantiles are made in the traditional way with wooden formers to shape the wet clay tiles to form the traditional shape. |
