🍂 AUTUMN IS MAKING ITS WAY TO OUR TABLE… 🍂

As the long, warm days of summer slowly start to fade and the evenings become a little cooler, there’s nothing quite like sitting down to a properly hearty, comforting dish that warms you from the inside out. ❤️

Our special dish at the moment is a beautiful Hachis Parmentier — the ultimate French-style comfort food, perfect for the changing season.

Tender braised ox cheek, slow-cooked until wonderfully rich and meltingly soft, is served in a deep, rich red wine jus, then topped with a generous layer of creamy mashed potato and golden melted cheese. 🥔🧀

Alongside, we have seasonal vegetables and our delicious braising jus, bringing together all those rich, warming flavours that make autumn dining so special. 🍷🍂

It’s the kind of dish that feels like a warm hug on a crisp autumn evening — rich, hearty, comforting and made to be savoured. ❤️

✨ Hachis Parmentier — 22.95
🌿 GF
🍂 Special dish — subject to availability

So as we say goodbye to summer and welcome the cosy season ahead, why not treat yourself to something truly comforting?

Autumn is here… and we’re ready for it. 🍂❤️

✨ Pan-Seared Scallops ✨

Pea Purée • Minted Peas • Black Pudding Crumb • Garlic Oil

A beautifully balanced dish bringing together delicate, sweet scallops with fresh, vibrant peas, rich savoury black pudding crumb and fragrant garlic oil. Each element adds its own flavour and texture, creating a dish that is both light and indulgent. 🌿✨

To make the experience even better, pair it with our Inch’s Apple Cider for a crisp, refreshing finish, or our Waddling Duck Sauvignon Blanc, whose bright and zesty character complements the freshness of the peas and the natural sweetness of the scallops perfectly. 🍏🥂
