Ordering Strategy
Perfect for a date or solo dining at the counter. Share the flatbreads and house sausage to start, then move to the pie or curry fish.
What to order
Dorset Snails Flatbread
This dish is propelled to the top of critics' hit lists thanks to the 'amazing tarragon butter' and the addition of crispy chicken skin.
Apple Glazed Pork Chop with Bacon Jus
A substantial and 'very fine' chop brushed with an apple reduction and served with so much bacon jus they provide a spoon to ensure you don't miss any.
Fried Plaice with Curry Sauce
A playful, 'very Shoreditch' take on fish and chips with fried capers that critics describe as a 'good thing' and surprisingly excellent.
Ice-cream Sundae with Brandy Snap
A 'fabulous' dessert choice topped with caramel sauce and a proper old-fashioned brandy snap for those with a sweet tooth.
