The hardest part is deciding between our traditional old favourites and our exciting specials, such as Pan fried local sea-bass with shellfish risotto, skate with roasted cobnuts or veal with almond butter and macaroni cheese.

And if you like a sweet ending to your meal,
you'll find it hard to resist the indian style rice pudding with chocolate samosa or the Sticky Toffee Pudding . The Atisan Cheese Board is for real cheese lovers accompanied by the chefs own pickle.

WHY eat seasonal food ?

There are a number of good reasons to eat more local, seasonal food:

to reduce the energy (and associated CO2 emissions) needed to grow and transport the food we eat

to avoid paying a premium for food that is scarcer or has travelled a long way

to support the local economy

to reconnect with nature's cycles and the passing of time

but, most importantly, because seasonal food is fresher and so tends to be tastier and more nutritious

 

A few words from the chef

Each season brings us woderfull produce local and far away. The quality exites us in the kitchen from butternut squash, pumpkins and local lobster to tonka beans from venezuela. The list is endless and gives us so much to play with. One of the pleasures of beeing a chef.And when we get the same feedback from our customers we feel content that we have felt that connection and travelled the same journey to what can only be described as a journey well visited. Good food is our life , its important we share it with people that feel the same way.How many times have we been told that you only get out what you have put in, it has to be the same with food. The real food in life has to be good for you. And you know what you are eating. You only have one life so eat real food and we will continue to make it taste good, We love doing it for you !
