The best part of a roast dinner?

Perhaps having a whole board piled high with all the trimmings to share with the whole table 👀

And lucky for you our Sunday roast sharing boards are a firm favourite…

🎇BORN IN FIRE BONFIRE NIGHT🎇

A fire dining spectacle where the food and the fire are both the show.🔥

We meet around the fire in the Lion’s Den for reception drinks and our first fire display. The fire follows you all the way through the evening with fire starter boards, smoked brisket revealed tableside, indulgent smoking desserts, a fire breathing display mid evening, flaming cocktails, and the whole pub candlelit from the moment you arrive.
Three acts of fire and smoke. One extraordinary night. What better night to celebrate our Fire & Smoke menu than Bonfire Night itself.

📍Tables are limited. £59pp reception drinks, 3 courses, hot beverages and fireside entertainment. (children welcome please enquire for more details)
