Our full menu changes regularly. Vegetarian meals are prepared on request as are any special dietary requirements. Our chefs confer daily to plan specials to be prepared for that evening and the following day's lunch.

Our bar staff offer beverages to compliment the food, keeping in mind our policy of value for money. We always have good quality wines on special either by the glass, carafe or bottle.
