We create our menus using the best British, seasonal ingredients, cooked simply using classical techniques, allowing the flavours to speak for themselves.

Our set lunch menu is back; £30 for 3 courses running Wednesday and Thursday only, showing off dishes such as our Truffle Cheese Crumpets, Herb Crumbed Cotswold White Chicken and Xoco Mayan Red Chocolate Ice Cream.

Sunday Lunch sees our main courses transform in to comforting classics; expect Rib of Beef or sharing Sirloins with Yorkshire Puddings, Roast Potatoes lashings of Sunday Gravy and to accompany Honey Glazed Heritage Carrots, Garlic Roasted Hispi Cabbage and even an extra Yorkie if you want it.
