🍯 THURSDAY TRADITION – HONEY GLAZED GAMMON 🍖

There’s something wonderfully traditional about gammon on a Thursday — a classic British favourite that has long been enjoyed as a hearty end-of-week meal. So we’re bringing a little of that tradition to the table with our new Honey Glazed Gammon.

Join us every Thursday for our Weekly Trolley Carvery, where our delicious honey glazed gammon is freshly carved and served with Dauphinoise potatoes and buttery greens. Watch as the gammon is brought to you and carved from the trolley .

£18.50 per person – a proper traditional meal, full of flavour and made for a Thursday treat. ❤️
