A 19th-century Grade II-listed dining room serving exceptional modern British meat dishes on heritage wooden pews.
Ordering Strategy
The menu changes daily based on produce. The Confit Potatoes are a mandatory side. For a more affordable entry point, the set lunch menu is excellent value compared to the a la carte steaks.
What to order
Confit Potatoes
Universally acclaimed as 'legendary' and 'famed,' these crispy, duck-fat fried cubes are considered even 'more glorious served in the restaurant' than from the adjacent deli.
Bone-in Chops
True to its name, the restaurant excels in substantial meat dishes like Highland beef or Ribeye, often sourced from their own on-site butchery and served with inventive sauces like fermented ramson.
Belted Galloway Mince on Toast
A 'contemporary hit' and cult classic featuring rich, gutsy beef mince on dripping toast that remains a staple of their set menus.
Honey Tart
Whether made with Salisbury or Borage honey, this dessert is described as 'sweet and wobbly as an ingenue' and 'almost too beautiful to eat.'

Seating is in original Victorian wooden booths (pews) which can be tight and uncomfortable for long sittings, despite added cushions. Booking is essential.
