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.
