Our Menus
We are so proud to have been the recipient of the coveted 4 AA star and 2 AA rosettes last year.
Although we have been closed for almost 6 months we are still as passionate as ever about food. We are having to reopen and operate in a very different way for the short term, but we are still committed to serving delicious dishes that include only the freshest of ingredients, lovingly prepared fresh to order.
Upon re-opening our Operating times may vary, so please do check our Opening Times.
Copies of our new menus will be available to view and download soon. Please note, dishes may vary slightly due to seasonality and availability of produce.
New menus will be published really soon, watch this space…
