Food

A dinner table with a lit candle, glasses of red and white wine, a slice of cake, plated food being served with gravy, and a vase with pink flowers.

Head Chef, Adam Spicer, serves a short seasonal menu inspired by our rural surrounds. We are in daily contact with our producers, so the menu often changes based on the best of what is available locally.

As well as the weekly menu, we serve a daily selection of bar snacks and a set weekday lunch menu.
