Ordering Strategy

Plates are designed for sharing, though traditional courses are possible. Save significant room for the extensive dessert menu.

What to order

Safe first

Welsh Rarebit

Described as the ideal savoury landing pad and as inviting as a freshly made bed.

Hungry

Beef Mince on Toast

A hearty, definitive dish for the establishment, perfect for a substantial solo plate or sharing.

Wildcard

Madeleines

Freshly baked to order and legendary; reviews suggest ordering them by the dozen (or half-dozen) is non-negotiable.

Good to know

The venue doubles as a bakery; the sourdough and doughnuts are available for takeaway. Whole suckling pig is available for large groups with pre-order.
