Small Plates Menu

Thursday, July 3rd, 2025

On the first Thursday of every other month we will be serving a small plates menu, showcasing the best of British seafood (plus a few cameos) paired with seasonal produce. Each dish is a starter-size portion.

Avoid the rush hour and stop by on your way home from work for a drink and a couple of small plates. Or stay all evening and add to your table as you go.

We will be open earlier than usual, from 5.30pm and each dish is served to you as and when it is ready, making for a relaxed and informal atmosphere.

There will also be more wines available by the glass and carafe to complete your evening.
