If you have an individual requirement or there is an ingredient you do not like, please ask and if possible we will try to help. Most of our dishes are cooked to order, so please be patient during busy periods. Please note we do not serve 'fast food' we serve 'real food' as fast as we can.

We are not 'organic', but we do care about animal welfare and traceability of the products we use. For these reasons we try where possible to source our ingredients locally and buy British meat, fruit, vegetables and free range eggs.

(SP) - These dishes are available in smaller portions at a reduced price on request.

Please note our menu is subject to change.
