MENUS
We offer two menus, either our 4-course menu which is designed for a lighter option or our 10-course tasting menu. Our menus are flavour led and created using seasonal ingredients. Our 10-course menu begins with a selection of snacks followed by carefully prepared dishes. Both our tasting menu and 4-course menu are available for lunch and dinner Wednesday to Saturday.
