Slow Braised Beef Short-Rib

Blimey this one, you'll know about😂. Every bite is well worth it 😍

Delicious Short-rib of Beef from David Joinsons. Alex reckons this is his best ever batch!

Charred and slowly braised overnight, they are so tender it's unbelievable. Lovely fresh Swiss chard, sticky honey glazed carrots, horseradish mashed potato and beef jus.

This level of freshness is sadly just unachievable via the supermarket. The Trout here has reached us directly from the fisherman. No travel to a massive processing plant, no encasement in plastic, no transport hub before reaching a shop and sitting on a shelf. We simply get the beautiful fish, the chefs do their thing 🕺🏽 and it's on your plate. Usually within the same day!!! (For the record our amazing chefs here have done a 24 hour brine/cure with lemons and all kinds of jiggery-pokery 🧙🏽‍♂️🪄 before it reaches the plate 😉)

Sorry to digress, we have here...

Fresh cured chalk stream Trout, Horseradish & buttermilk split dressing, trout rowe and radish

It's beautiful!!!

Not just for the vegans 🌿🍅

We have got a fantastic starter available this week 😍. To be honest we were astonished by the flavours packed into one tomato!!

Plum tomatoes, steamed, peeled, hollowed out. Then finely dicing Heritage tomatoes, lots of olives! Shallots, fresh herbs, and sherry vinegar. Finished with a tomato consomme and chive oil. Fresh and zingy! 👨🏽‍🍳

It's almost a shame this special is so delicious as it's truly a feast for the eyes 🫣, well done team!

We have here venison loin. Roasted creating a beautiful flavour, still remaining utterly tender. Beetroot trio. Roasted honey glazed carrots. A jus/reduction made with all of the stock and red w**e, plus a rocket salsa to pack a bitter punch 👊🏽.
On the side we have potato rösti topped with 24 hours slow braised venison. It's top notch!

Venison is back 🏞️🦌🌲. An extremely high quality free range ingredient high in protein/iron and exceptionally lean. Barely any travel involved to reach our plates 🍽️. Not to mention delicious!!!

Available from 5pm Wednesday along with a couple of tantalising special starters we're trailing this week, plus of course a delicious fish special. This week we have charred monkfish 😍. (Photos to come!)

The dish:
Venison rilette, venison slowly simmering for hours upon hours, allowed to cool and mixed with loads of fresh herbs and flavours. Tender and delicious.
A mouthwatering venison and port jus to smother it in. Served with fresh greens and fondant potato.
