PEOPLE. PURPOSE. PASSION. ❤️

It’s a bit crazy how quickly time flies.

Just a year and four months ago, we were getting ready to open our doors, full of excitement, nerves and a whole lot of ambition.

Since then, we’ve been through our first Christmas, found ourselves in the MICHELIN Guide, been awarded 2 AA Rosettes, opened our sister pub, The George | Graveley , and somehow we’re already getting ready for our second Christmas!

And now, looking at this photo, with an even bigger team around us, it’s a pretty special feeling. ❤️

Of course, we’re incredibly proud of everything we’ve achieved. But what makes us proudest is the people who have made it all happen.

We genuinely couldn’t ask for a better bunch of people. They work incredibly hard, look after one another and share a real love for hospitality.

There have been long days, late nights, plenty of laughs and challenges along the way, but having such a fantastic team makes it all worthwhile.

Because at the end of the day, a pub is only as good as the people who make it what it is. And we feel incredibly lucky to have this team.

To our wonderful team, and to everyone who has visited and supported us along the way, thank you. We wouldn’t be here without you.

We can’t quite believe our second Christmas is nearly here, and we can’t wait to share it with you all. 🐓❤️

TREACLE TART 🍯

A little something for those who like to finish their meal on a sweet note.

Our treacle tart served with crème fraîche sorbet.

A proper classic, and the crème fraîche sorbet is a lovely addition to it.

We think this one might become a favourite. ❤️

SPICED PEAR COSMOPOLITAN 🍐🍸

A little autumn twist on a classic!

Our Spiced Pear Cosmopolitan is made with vodka, ginger liqueur, spiced pear, cranberry & lemon.

The spiced pear brings a lovely sweetness, while the ginger adds a little warmth. It’s a cocktail that feels just right for this time of year.

We’re still having a little play around with the garnish to make it look as good as it tastes, so don’t be surprised if it looks slightly different next time!

One to try next time you’re in! 🐓❤️

MUSHROOM PARFAIT 🍄

Mushrooms are one of our favourite ingredients to work with at this time of year.

Our mushroom parfait served with pickled shallot & barley cracker.

We’ve kept this one fairly simple, letting the mushrooms do most of the talking.

A lovely little starter to get things going. ❤️

AYLESBURY DUCK 🦆

If you’ve been keeping an eye on our menu, you might recognise this dish from a couple of weeks ago!

We’ve made a few changes to our Aylesbury duck, which is now served with braised red cabbage, red cabbage ketchup, poached quince & black kale.

That’s one of the things we love about cooking seasonally. Our menu is never completely standing still, and we’re always finding little ways to improve a dish or try something different.

Same duck, a few new touches, and we’re really pleased with where it’s at now! ❤️

MALTED DARK CHOCOLATE BAR 🍫

A little something for the chocolate lovers.

Our malted dark chocolate bar served with Cornish sea salt, pistachio & coffee.

Rich dark chocolate balanced with the subtle bitterness of coffee and a touch of sea salt, with pistachio adding a lovely crunch.

A comforting dessert to finish off an autumn meal. 🐓❤️

🦌 KNEBWORTH VENISON

Venison loin and belly, brown butter celeriac purée, black kale, pickled blackberries, hazelnuts and port jus.

Joe loves getting his hands-on great local produce, especially when it comes to butchery.

We do all our butchery in-house, making sure nothing goes to waste. It’s something we’re really passionate about, and it gives our chefs a chance to learn, understand the produce they’re working with and get the most out of it.

And this one’s from just down the road in Knebworth!
