Food and Drink

Our Menu focuses on modern British cuisine with a nod to the Mediterranean. Renowned for our ‘Daily Fish Specials’ and amazing Sunday Lunch, we are passionate about what we do, and have built up an excellent reputation, both locally and with visitors for innovation and consistency.
 

Our Head Chef, Nick Westwood and his talented Team are  committed to making the best use of fresh seasonal produce to create great dishes that celebrate traditional British cooking with a contemporary twist. Our Menu changes with the seasons, whilst our ‘Specials Menu’ changes daily and generally consists of a variety of fresh fish dishes, for which we are renowned.

Our wines complement our menus. We have a fine selection of wines from around the world, all sourced for their quality.

Our fish dishes and homemade soup change daily.

Examples of these and our cheeseboard can be found on our 'Sample Specials' menu.
