Cornish Crab and Brown Butter 🦀 🧈

Small but mighty — a new canapé joining this week’s menu.

A delicate crab croustade layered with rich brown crab miso, pickled radish, sweet steamed white crab, and a roasted crab shell beurre blanc. Finished with a small disc of brown butter — a subtle nod to the traditional butter seal of potted crab.

Turbot with Kohlrabi and Rapeseed 🐟 🫜 🌼

Celebrating the arrival of turbot season, this dish showcases beautifully delicate fish, gently oven-cooked and glazed with rapeseed vinegar.

Pickled kohlrabi is paired with preserved crispy brassicas, adding freshness and texture. A vibrant broth of cultured vegetables and aged beef fat finishes the dish, bringing brightness, depth, and savoury richness to every bite.

New Forest Strawberries & Elderflowers 🍓🌼

The first English strawberries have arrived, alongside the delicate blooms of early elderflower.
We macerate New Forest strawberries in our house-brewed strawberry kombucha and last year’s elderflower vinegar, then serve them over a roasted strawberry sorbet with a subtle hint of crème fraîche.

On the menu this week.

Burnt Onion with Chicken Liver and Pickled Thyme

Our very first snack—and a true original on the Folium menu. It’s been there since day one, and for good reason.

A delicate, crispy tuile made from caramelised onion purée, deepened in colour with burnt onion skins, gently wraps around a smooth chicken liver parfait. Finished with a touch of pickled thyme ketchup and a fresh thyme leaf, it brings just the right balance of richness and brightness.

If you’ve had it, you’ll understand. If not, it’s time to change that.

Yorkshire Curd Tart, Birch Syrup & Pedro Ximénez

As we wave goodbye to apple season, we welcome a spring refresh—leaning into tradition with a proper nod to Ben’s Yorkshire roots.

Our baked curd tart is made with fresh curds from local milk at Carpenter Hill Farm in Redditch. Cooked Basque-style for a deeply caramelised top and a soft, custardy centre, it sits on a crisp puff pastry base.

Served with birch sap ice cream and raisins soaked in Earl Grey and Pedro Ximénez.

A few spaces left this weekend if you’d like to try it.

Caramelised Apple, Toasted Hay & Vanilla 🍏 🍎

Now wrapping up across both our short and long tasting menus — our current caramelised apple dessert.

Delicate layers of thinly sliced apple are brushed with caramel and baked slowly until meltingly soft and richly caramelised. Pressed and sliced into a neat terrine, it’s served over a verjus caramel for a gentle, balanced acidity.

We finish it with a custard-based cream infused with toasted hay and vanilla, plus crisp shards of caramel for texture. Think classic tarte tatin energy — just reimagined.

With apple season coming to a close, this dessert will only be available until the end of March before making way for its spring successor.

Join us and enjoy it while it lasts.

Milk Chocolate & Cep Fudge Tart 🍫 🍄‍🟫

A crisp chocolate and almond tart case filled with smooth chocolate fudge, delicately infused with the earthy depth of cep mushrooms. Finished with silky salted caramel and a crunchy Manjari chocolate and biscuit crumble.

Last chance to enjoy it before we unveil our spring menu.
