Panesic Hotels Ltd - Embu, Kenya

The food here is great value and only a few shillings more than the town’s cheap eateries. Steaks come with a soup starter, mounds of veggies and starch (their phrasing) of your choice. The fruit cocktail is a vitamin-packed treat of layered avocado, mango and something-red juice. There's also a barbecue deck near the pool serving nyama choma and beer.
