The Sunday lunch menu is priced at £65 per person. All menus and formats are available to view on our Food and Drink Page.
Please note menus online are samples and can change due to availability of seasonal produce.
DIETARY REQUIREMENTS
We request that upon making your reservation you notify us of any allergies or dietary requirements within your party to ensure we have sufficient time to prepare an appropriate menu. With 24 hours’ notice, we can adapt to most dietary requirements but as our food includes dairy products throughout, unfortunately, we are not able to cater for guests that require a dairy-free diet. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. Whilst we follow best practice at all times, it should be noted that all the dishes we serve are produced in the same kitchen that allergens are also prepared and cooked and thus we cannot guarantee that the environment will be completely allergen-free.
LAST ORDERS
Last orders for drinks will be 11.30 pm.

From the train station we are roughly a 5-minute walk, just down off Brook Street.
