Eats

We all know that eating out is all about enjoying yourself, and our dishes offer all the joys of traditional comfort food with our own inimitable twist. This is not to say they are overly mucked about with, quite the opposite, we try to keep our dishes pretty simple and source as much local produce as possible.

In our 50-seater restaurant we hope we've created a place where the simple quality of the food means you can enjoy your meal and your companions' without interruption from overly-fussy food or below-par platters.

What we just want to reassure you is that there won't be any foams, multi-sensory experiences or weird ice creams and we won't be serving up over-boiled veg next to overcooked beef on a Sunday, (there'll be no dodgy packet trifle in sight either!).

Bon Appetit!
