The Menus
Our aim is to provide you with a fine dining experience, by offering a selection of dishes that are based on modern cooking, but with a classical influence.
As we always use the best local seasonal produce available, we will propose your menu in the week prior to your meal.
All dishes are prepared to order. Should you have any vegetarians or special dietary requirements, please inform us and we will be delighted to cater for these needs.
