Menu ~ Summer 2025 examples
Our daily menu is a set chef’s table selection. This is an example of the things we often prepare & cook freshly each day where we will typically offer one item, sometimes two, from each of the numbered sections. We go from 4 up to 9 courses for the full tasting menu which adds canapés and petit fours of the day to the 7 courses below. Vegan, coeliac menus are possible, and we can deal with some medical allergies, but must be agreed at least 4 days in advance. Vegan is for a minimum of 2 persons and because of the significant additional work involved making special courses may have a premium for some dishes. Premium fish such as turbot is expensive (we buy them whole and butcher them in house) and so has to have a price supplement unfortunately.
Wine flights matched to your food are available for group bookings of 6 or more from £50pp.
