Lunch Menu ~ for relaxed dining

Serving English cuisine in a French and traditional silver-service style and with an ever-present proprietor, we enjoy the much treasured custom of regular diners and friends.

Many of whom can recall day one when we lost all power, dined in darkness, issued many candles and offered many apologies. Now, 24 years later we employ 16 part-time staff
