This delicately balanced dish showcases our love for nose to tail cooking

Our Ox Tongue starter begins with whole tongue braised overnight in red wine and stock until soft and tender. It’s then rolled, chilled and thinly sliced before being lightly pickled on the plate with a damson and vinegar jelly.

Pickled mulberries, spring onions, crispy buckwheat and caramelised walnuts give a crisp and sweet contrast. A walnut sauce brings everything together with earthy depth and warmth.

Fresh in from

Our new wild bass ceviche, grilled cucumber salsa + dill oil is a perfect summer addition to the menu.

Thinly sliced wild sea bass cured with lemon. Paired with a cucumber salsa, made with charcoal grilled cucumber, garlic scapes, chilli and onion, all dressed in fragrant dill oil. Finished with dehydrated lemon for an extra burst of citrus and a little crunch, it’s a dish that captures the freshness of the sea and the abundance of summer.
