DECEMBER A LA CARTE MENU
From 1 December, Scott and the kitchen serve a festive à la carte alongside the party menu. Winter dishes, no set menu, no minimum numbers – for the table of two who want the Christmas cooking without the Christmas party.
(Sample menu, subject to seasonal availability and market prices.)
Hogmanay With US
The last night of the year, and one of our favourites. Fires lit, a full room & we’re open for lunch from midday to 3pm, then back from 7pm for dinner and for seeing 2027 in. There will be live music from Steve Marino and his band, if you’re joining us for dinner, you’re welcome to stay on for the night, or there will be tickets available for the bar and music from 9:30pm. Not forgetting we will have Bernard Robert Champagne flowing all day for just £10 a glass !
