Food and Wine
 
Opening Hours
The main bar has eleven tables with an adjacent small dining room of three tables which can seat up to sixteen people for small private parties. Food is served from 12pm to 2pm and from 6.30pm to 9pm all week. Sunday lunch is served from 12pm to 2pm and Sunday evening 7pm until 9pm.
   

All our dishes are freshly made under the supervision of our Head Chef Dave Cousin. The menu is written on black-boards as it frequently changes, affording us the opportunity to focus on seasonal food and local availability.

Below is a sample of the dishes we offer.
