British seasonal tasting menus that, to avoid waste, use only one meat at a time. Situated in a beautiful Victorian building, enjoy a relaxed, thoughtful & personal dining experience providing value for money found nowhere else!

From the week of the 18th of November every Friday and Saturday dinner we will only serve our Signature Menu at £90.

Tues - Sat Dinner, & Sat Lunch | 7-course Tasting Menu | £70pp Or our Signature Menu-10-course | £90
Wed - Fri Lunch | 2-course Set Lunch | £27 or ALC

The restaurant is produce driven; we work with the very best producers & suppliers in the UK.

The drinks list, and optional pairing, has a strong focus on drinks with low-intervention production methods. These are wines, cider & beers that are full of life & represent the way we feel all agricultural products should be made, farmed or reared: with a focus on respect - towards the natural environment and everyone involved in the process.

Attended for end of beef season 2024. Excellent food and good wine selection. However noticed some interesting disparity in service - couple next to us enjoyed extra coat service, were asked re optional cheese course & coffee/whisky at close of meal, whereas our water was removed before dessert and we were hastily met with “would you like anything else or the bill?”. Left with mixed feelings and some sadness at stark inequality of treatment. Not sure if intentional but certainly felt.

Very nice restaurant with attentive and engaged service. Food is of great quality and well prepared. Some advertised courses changed on the night, but still good quality , and in tune with the overall menu - mentioned for information. Marked down only on the price of the drinks . The wine list is not extensive and the restaurant would like , of course, you to take the accompanying wines. But £70+ for a bottle of wine which would cost £15 to buy at a merchant reduces the overall feeling of well being. Having said that I would return for a different theme in future.

As a sister restaurant of St Bart’s, I had a higher expectation towards the quality but it was a bit disappointing. We had the beef course and honestly the food was ordinary without any wow factor. The service was pretty standard, didn’t get a lot of attention from the waiters but not to the extent that it takes forever for someone to come over. So overall the experience was average and considering the price of it, it’s a bit underwhelming.
