MENUS

As one of our regulars says, "food that you really want to eat"
Special Diets
We also welcome people with special dietary requirements and produce a Special Diets Menu which details the vegetarian, vegan, dairy free and gluten free options ​
Wine
Our wines are from individuals and family growers of exceptional merit. You won't find any of the big names that turn wine into an industrial product. Instead, each wine on our list is the individual expression of expertise, the intuition and the integrity of each very carefully chosen grower
Private dining
​
We can accommodate large tables in our downstairs dining area. Private parties of 20 to 30 people can have exclusive use of this area on Mondays - Thursdays
Vouchers
We offer a voucher service.

All vouchers are done in the style of a letter and include a personalised message. The voucher is then printed at the restaurant and posted, first class, to an address of your choosing. The entire process can be done over the phone.  

All vouchers are given a serial number which verifies their authenticity.
Suppliers
We believe food is at its best when it's in season. We also believe Britain and the South West of England have some fantastic produce. That's why our menus aim to showcase the very best ingredients our shores have to offer 
Alison Golden
​(Chef and owner)
“I have been a chef and owned my own restaurants now for thirty years and have learnt what makes a good dining experience.  My three food guiding lights have been Elizabeth David, Jane Grigson and Joyce Molyneux. I have tried to follow their example of sourcing fantastic ingredients then cooking them simply, with respect for the essential flavours, while also putting my original stamp on many classical dishes and bringing them up to date.

​Modern food writers like Diana Henry and Skye Gyngell are also big influences and have steered me to a healthier and lighter way of cooking using gluten-free, or no flour in most of my recipes."​
