After 2 nights of our new menu being launched we have some new favourites! ✨

My favourite meal has to be the Prawn and Crab tian starter, followed by the Haddock, Salmon and King Prawn fish pie and for dessert the Chocolate Panettone and bread and butter pudding with custard.

If some of these sound like a bit of you come and try them! And if you have already been in and tried some of our other new menu items, let us know which ones are your favourite!
