He earned two AA rosettes as Executive Chef at the 4 AA Red Starred Hotel St Ermin’s and led the kitchens at Mansion House, cooking for dignitaries, royalty, and world leaders.
Inspired by the flavours of Asia, Alex combines classical dishes with modern techniques to create a dynamic menu.
We source only the finest ingredients, and our selection of handcrafted cocktails, wines, and beers complements the menu perfectly.

    Surprisingly tasty food and combinations. I wasn’t expecting the quality. This was, however, the valentines set menu. The wine list had the wrong St Emillon on (or they only held a different one to the one on the list). The price should have been about £40 not £54. I didn’t bother asking and they apologised for the mismatch. Loved the food.

    The food was very nice and staff very attentive. What wasn’t appreciated was the 90 minute timeframe to eat our meal.

    This was our third visit and the food and service was exceptional as it has always been before. Varied imaginative menu with lots of options for veggies and meat eaters alike. Can particularly recommend the red curry sweetcorn fritters - superb.

    Incredibly friendly and attentive service during our visit on 5 Jan. Overall very positive experience. Mains had more flavour than the starters. The sweetcorn fritters were nice but could benefit from more flavour and the same for the fried chicken. My husband really enjoyed his slow cooked pork and my aubergine smaller plate was very tender.

    Good food and great atmosphere, but service orchestrated round the kitchen rather than customer. However, this was New Year's Eve.
