A calm and cosy candlelit dining room, warm service, some Fairport Convention to help you forget about the time, and some seriously, delicious food.
The perfect roast beef that we start our preparation for on Thursday. Unctuous Brooke Farm Chicken with luscious bread sauce. And if meat is not your thing, the most beautiful Pithivier filled with mushrooms and sweet onion.
All served with THE best roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables, gravy and of course, Yorkshire Pudding.

Read MoreThere are uncertain times ahead but as sure as the sun rising in the morning, winter will come so there’s always a need for comfort food to warm, nourish and savour. Jansson’s Temptation – the perfect harmony of potato, sweet onions & anchovy baked with cream. Has been on our menu since day 1 and most people who’ve had it once, order it every time they come. Swedish in origin, more savoury that fishy, don’t leave the anchovies out. A dish to devour on its own or with any grilled beef, roast venison or a succulent pork chop. Enjoy!

Our standard corkage charge is £15 per bottle. You are welcome to bring a bottle or two of your own wine when you dine with us. Hopefully something special rather than a supermarket’s own brand! We have a great value wine list with lots of gems marked up to retail price so ensure you check it out first – WINE LIST
Each Wednesday (excluding December) we are charging just £5 corkage on ANY size bottle of wine when you have lunch or dinner with us. So don’t just bring a bottle, bring a MAGNUM or JEROBOAM or if you can lift it a BALTHAZAR (and we’ll help you drink it!).
