We bid a fond farewell to summer, and delve into the autumn months ahead. As the crisp autumn leaves fall, we welcome you to indulge in the warm and hearty flavours of our new autumn menu.
The most wonderful time of year is right around the corner, and we can’t wait to make it memorable for you! Whether you’re planning a cosy family dinner, a corporate Christmas party, or an intimate gathering with friends, we welcome you to celebrate the magic of Christmas with us.
Our menu is driven by the seasons, and this month nature brings us a harvest of beetroot, celeriac, kale, ceps and much more!
Join us to embrace autumn flavours, and look forward to the magic of the festive season.
