You need to indulge in our current selection of autumn Chef’s Specials which are already receiving excellent feedback:

CHICKEN SATAY
Tender chicken with rich satay sauce and a refreshing Asian cucumber salad. A lovely balance of indulgence and crunch.

VEGAN SATAY BITES
Vegan bites with a generous helping of satay sauce, lifted by a crisp Asian cucumber salad.

ROASTED FALAFEL
Roasted falafel nestled on ratatouille, with a rich sun-dried tomato and red pepper sauce. Deep Mediterranean flavours in every forkful.

PORK GYOZA
Delicate dumplings filled with savoury pork, served with sweet chilli sauce for dipping.

VEGGIE GYOZA
Vegetable-filled dumplings with sweet chilli sauce — little parcels made for dipping and devouring.

JACKET POTATOES
Fluffy baked potatoes loaded with your choice of creamy tuna mayo and sweetcorn; melting cheese and beans; warmly spiced Karachi chicken curry; or hearty Karachi potato and chickpea curry.

ROASTED PEPPER & TOMATO PASTA
Pasta coated in a rich roasted pepper and tomato sauce, with garlic ciabatta to mop up every last delicious bit.

CHICKEN & TOFU LAKSA
Tender chicken, tofu and tangled noodles in a fragrant, spiced laksa broth. Deeply comforting and worth lingering over.

ROASTED PORK BELLY
Rich, tender roasted pork belly with smooth mustard mash, vegetables and a generous pour of brandy sauce. Proper autumn indulgence.

BEEF STRIPLOIN
Beef striploin with rosemary and Parmesan roast potatoes, charred broccoli and a luscious garlic cream sauce. A plate to take your time over.

CHOCOLATE MOUSSE
Silky chocolate mousse with a bright berry coulis, cutting beautifully through the chocolate’s richness.

WHITE CHOCOLATE & PASSION FRUIT TART
Sweet, creamy white chocolate meets the sharp tropical tang of passion fruit. Rich enough to savour, bright enough to tempt you back for another forkful.

MANGO & PEAR CRUMBLE
Soft mango and pear beneath a golden crumble topping, served with rich rum custard. The sort of pudding you’ll want to keep entirely to yourself.
