We only serve a single tasting menu focused on quality ingredients, seasonality, emphasising simplicity and sustainable practices.

We can usually cater for most health or allergy-related dietary requests with at least 48 hours’ notice. It is important to know that we do use nuts, gluten and other allergens in our kitchen, so while we can ensure your dishes are free of these ingredients, it is essential that you know that these ingredients are still used on the premises. If the dietary requirements dictate comprehensive changes in the menu that will result in a compromise of standards, we unfortunately might not be able to accommodate your request.
