See below for what my dining companions and I indulged in for this review in August 2024 (prices quoted include VAT):
Starter
Crispy Squid (Recommend)
Seasoned and cooked to perfection. Fresh off the hob, crispy! Served with roasted garlic mayonnaise and charred lemon. £6.99++
Sharing Platters
Chef’s Board (Recommend)
If you are hungry, this is a great place to start - cottage pie croquettes, honey & ale barbecue chicken strips, honey & mustard chipolatas, crispy squid and garden patch houmous with sourdough shards. £16.49++
Mains
Glazed Pork Belly (Recommend)
Hit the spot beautifully. This pork belly is lightly glazed with marmalade and served with buttery mash, charred hispi cabbage, herb-roasted carrots and generous serving of gravy. £16.99++
British Slow-Cooked Steak & Ale Pie (Do not recommend)
We thought the meat was a touch dry and overdone inside. Presented beautifully with broccoli, carrots and peas and buttery mash. £15.49++
