Ordering Strategy

The menu is best enjoyed by loading up on the 'Snacks' and 'Small Plates' sections—specifically the brioche and croquettes—before sharing a main.

What to order

Safe first

Cheese & Onion Croquettes

Universally praised as some of the 'best' critics have ever had, these golden, gooey bites of Montgomery’s Cheddar are described as 'sharp, flavourful and oh-so addictive.'

Hungry

Celeriac Carbonara

A 'brave move' that replaces traditional pasta with twirlable strands of celeriac; it is creamy, rich, and widely considered the standout signature dish of the restaurant.

Wildcard

Nessabockerglory

A '15-tog comfort blanket' of a dessert that layers pretzel chunks with drizzled salted caramel and rum-soaked raisins.

Wildcard

Spice Bag

A playful and 'luxe spin on the Irish takeaway classic' consisting of hefty potato chunks tossed with chilli and peppers.

What to skip

Skip
Chicken Cordon BleuCritics are divided; while some enjoy the gravy, others noted the meat had 'seized up' and described the plate as a 'very strange collection of things thrown together.'
