This delicately balanced dish showcases our love for nose to tail cooking

Our Ox Tongue starter begins with whole tongue braised overnight in red wine and stock until soft and tender. It’s then rolled, chilled and thinly sliced before being lightly pickled on the plate with a damson and vinegar jelly.

Pickled mulberries, spring onions, crispy buckwheat and caramelised walnuts give a crisp and sweet contrast. A walnut sauce brings everything together with earthy depth and warmth.

Following last week’s curry night, we will now be opening up the Carps Kitchen every Tuesday evening to offer a special dish :-)

Next up, on Tuesday 9th, our wonderful kitchen team brings you a Hungarian style slow-cooked beef Goulash or a vegan goulash option with beans. Served with a freshly baked Lepinja topped with garlic and herbs. Lepinja are Croatian flatbreads similar to a pitta but light and fluffy like focaccia. To finish, the dish is topped with pickled shallot, cucumber and herbs.

Beef goulash / £15
Beans goulash / £12

Delicious weeknight comfort

As usual, everything is made fresh and from wonderful local ingredients. Following last Tuesday’s turn out, we’ll be taking bookings as well as walk-ins going forward- so do give us a call or book online to secure a spot.

Fresh in from

Our new wild bass ceviche, grilled cucumber salsa + dill oil is a perfect summer addition to the menu.

Thinly sliced wild sea bass cured with lemon. Paired with a cucumber salsa, made with charcoal grilled cucumber, garlic scapes, chilli and onion, all dressed in fragrant dill oil. Finished with dehydrated lemon for an extra burst of citrus and a little crunch, it’s a dish that captures the freshness of the sea and the abundance of summer.

We’re opening the kitchen up next Tuesday (2nd June) for our first curry night…

Smoked chicken Goan curry or Tofu Goan curry served with rice + soft homemade naan / £12

Our take on a Goan curry is fragrant, rich and yet gently summery with a twist or two along the way.

The curry begins with two separate pastes. The first combines chilli, curry leaves, galangal, garlic and warming spices - aromatic and fresh. The second is made from dates and vinegar, bringing sweetness, tang and depth.

For the meat curry, the chicken is smoked over wood in our Bertha smoker before being added to the sauce.
The vegan version follows the same path, swapping in tofu and vegetables that soak up all those fragrant flavours beautifully.

Served with fluffy rice and warm homemade naan bread for £12 - still the same thoughtfully sourced ingredients, scratch cooking and generous flavours.

Perfect fuel for our quiz crowd, though absolutely open to everyone. We’ll be serving from 5:30pm–8:30pm.

No bookings, walk-ins only. When it’s gone, it’s gone.
