A few dishes we’re particularly excited about right now…
Think Cornish crab arancini — crisp on the outside with a delicate, rich centre.
Or Cajun spiced south coast prawns, lifted with gochujang and just the right amount of heat.
For something deeper, the treacle marinated pork tenderloin delivers that perfect balance of sweet and savoury.
Or the Gressingham duck, served with apricot pie and silky pomme purée — a true main event.
Vegetarian? The Arreton cauliflower katsu brings bold flavour and texture, proving nothing here is an afterthought.
And to finish…
A doughnut with blood orange and dark chocolate ganache — absolutely worth saving room for.

Not every evening needs an occasion.
A table set, a good bottle opened, and time to enjoy it properly.

Tuesday evenings are made for this.
