Perfect autumn flavours….a beurre blanc (white w**e butter sauce) swapped for autumn with red w**e and mussels added, with a delicious piece of Cod or Hake. And then double root vegetables. Silly celeriac purée and crisp Jerusalem Artichoke.

Oli’s never happy just doing meringue and cream — there’s always a flavour or a technique he’s been wanting to try, and this is no exception….



Brown sugar pavlova, toasted chocolate mousseline, blackberry, bay…

crisp where it should be, soft where it matters, the bay doing something you don’t expect until it’s there. Worth saving room for.

Some nights don’t need planning, they just need the right table and nobody in a rush to leave.

Three plates people are loving, all new on our autumn menu.

Sprouting broccoli with a duck egg and black garlic aioli that’s doing more work than a first course really needs to.

Confit chicken wings gone katsu, with a curried egg for good measure.

And an open crab lasagne that’s lasagne in name only — lobster bisque, confit fennel, and considerably more oomf than the average lasagne.

Order one as a starter, or all three and call it dinner!



Sprouting broccoli, duck egg, black garlic aioli, rosemary breadcrumb, shallot (v)

Sounds like a side dish. Isn’t one. The black garlic aioli is addictive, and the rosemary breadcrumb a delight.

Open crab lasagne, lobster bisque, tarragon, confit fennel.

The lasagne bit is doing it a disservice — there’s a lobster bisque underneath carrying so much flavour, and confit fennel making sure it doesn’t get too rich.

Confit chicken wings, katsu sauce, curried egg, carrot, cumin, coriander, sesame

Katsu and a curried egg together shouldn’t work this well on a wing, but it does, repeatedly, which is why it’s been the most popular starter.
