THE DETAILS


  • We take our ingredients seriously, recognising them as the foundation of every great dining experience. Wherever possible, we source locally, working closely with trusted producers to ensure quality, freshness, and sustainability. Our menus evolve with the seasons, allowing each dish to reflect the very best at its peak. This thoughtful approach not only enhances flavour but also supports local businesses and reduces our impact on the planet—something we believe is just as important as what’s on the plate.

  • Before ordering please speak to our staff about your requirements - we will of course do all we can to accommodate guests with food intolerances and allergies. We are however unable to guarantee that dishes will be completely allergen-free, but once in restaurant, a member of our team will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

  • Whether you’re planning a larger gathering or a special celebration, we’re always delighted to accommodate group bookings and private parties. From family occasions to corporate events, our team will work with you to create a seamless and enjoyable experience, with menus and arrangements tailored to suit your needs.

    To discuss your requirements with our team please get in touch.

  • At our restaurant, we are committed to creating a welcoming, inclusive environment where everyone feels respected, valued, and comfortable. We celebrate diversity in all its forms and believe that hospitality should be open to all, regardless of age, gender, race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or background.

    We strive to ensure our space is accessible and accommodating wherever possible, and our team is trained to provide thoughtful, attentive service that meets a wide range of needs and preferences. Whether you are joining us for a casual meal or a special occasion, we aim to ensure every guest feels equally at home at our table.
