While you wait, enjoy bowls of mixed Italian olives that have been marinated in lemon zest and herbs, or hummus with ancient seeds and toasted pitta. Then, to start, order the honey and truffle glazed goats cheese with roasted beetroots and candied hazelnuts, or the pulled ham and prosciutto terrine with apple and plum chutney and toasted sourdough. There are a wonderful assortment of mains to choose from, including classics like bavette steak with French fries, bearnaise sauce and watercress, and crispy pork belly with truffle mash potato, hispi cabbage, burnt apple puree and red wine jus. We love the sound of the butternut squash and sage gnocchi, the grilled sea bream with chermoula, tenderstem broccoli, new potatoes and white tahini, and slow cooked lamb pappardelle with capers, ricotta and anchovies. How could you say no to some truffle and parmesan fries or creamed spinach with nutmeg and cheese on the side?
Dessert includes a blackberry panna cotta with compote, a chocolate orange torte with orange creme fraîche, and a treacle tart with clotted cream and mandarin and mint salsa.
