🐟 A pub classic, with a little twist…

Golden, crispy battered haddock tucked into a soft, buttery brioche bun, layered with tangy pickled cucumber, creamy tartare sauce and finished with a generous shaving of Parmesan. 🤤

All the flavours of your favourite fish and chips, served up a little differently.

Perfect for a leisurely lunch, a bite with friends or simply because you fancy something delicious.

☕🍸 Some classics never go out of season…

Rich, velvety and effortlessly indulgent, there's something about an Espresso Martini that feels particularly special as the colder months roll in. 🍂

Crafted using freshly ground John Street espresso, every cocktail starts with beautifully aromatic coffee, bringing deep, roasted flavours and a wonderfully smooth richness to this much-loved classic.

Shaken to perfection, finished with that signature silky crema and delivering just the right balance of bold coffee and subtle sweetness.

The perfect pick-me-up, an after-dinner indulgence or simply an excuse to make an evening last a little longer.

Because great coffee deserves to be enjoyed in more ways than one. 🤎

🍂 Cosy days, roaring fires and something delicious to share…

As the colder weather rolls in, there’s nothing quite like tucking into a rich, gooey baked Camembert by the fire. 🧀🔥

Make it even more indulgent with the addition of fennel salami and cornichons, the perfect combination of creamy cheese, cured meats and a little tangy crunch.

Grab a glass of red, find a cosy corner and settle in. Autumn never tasted so good. 🍷

🍂 A classic with an autumnal twist…🍸

Our autumn cocktail menu has arrived, bringing together bold flavours, seasonal ingredients and a few creative twists on some much-loved classics.

One of our favourites? The Fig Negroni

A seasonal take on the iconic Italian cocktail, swapping traditional sweet vermouth for a beautifully rich fig liqueur.

The result? A wonderfully balanced blend of bittersweet flavours, with the mellow sweetness of ripe figs softening the Negroni's signature bitterness and adding a little warmth and indulgence to every sip.

Bold, sophisticated and unmistakably autumnal. 🍁

Because some classics are simply too good not to reinvent.

🍷 A little spotlight on one of our favourites...

Meet our Conde Valdemar Rioja Reserva a beautifully rich and elegant red from the heart of Spain's famous Rioja region. 🇪🇸

Bursting with notes of ripe cherries, dark berries, warming spices and a delicate hint of vanilla and cocoa, this wonderfully smooth Rioja is full of character, with silky tannins and a long, satisfying finish.

And the perfect pairing? Think slow-cooked meats, rich autumnal dishes, seasonal game and indulgent cheeses. 🍂

With our autumn menu celebrating some of the very best seasonal flavours, we couldn't think of a better time to enjoy a glass.

Sometimes, the perfect dish deserves the perfect w**e. 🍷

With 15 beautifully appointed boutique bedrooms, stunning countryside views and the charm of the changing seasons right on our doorstep, there's no better time to escape the everyday.

Whether you're joining us for a romantic weekend away, a countryside adventure or simply a well-deserved change of scenery, we've got the perfect place to call home for a night or two.

Your autumn escape is waiting.🛏️🍁

🍂 A little something to start the season…

With our autumn and winter menu in full swing, we're celebrating the very best of seasonal British ingredients, comforting flavours and beautifully crafted dishes.

Two of our favourite starters showcase everything we love about this time of year.

Our Chicken Liver Parfait, rich, smooth and wonderfully indulgent, a timeless classic that's made for the colder months.

And for something a little lighter, our Beetroot-Cured Chalk Stream Trout, delicate, vibrant and beautifully fresh, bringing a touch of colour and elegance to the autumn table. 🐟

Two very different dishes, both celebrating the flavours of the season.

The only question is, which one are you starting with? 🍁
