The kitchen

Cooked here, from scratch

Bread, crackling, ice cream and the Scotch eggs at the bar are all made in our kitchen. The cooking is traditional and British, with a contemporary twist, and the menu moves with the season.

We are more than happy to look after dietary requirements. Just let the team know.
