# Menu

A short, ever-changing menu built around the open fire and the season. Dishes rotate with the market — here is a taste of what tends to land on the pass. Booking is recommended, especially for our Sunday roast.

 

## To Begin

 

- **Atlantic Tiger Prawns** — giant prawns, foaming garlic butter, charred sourdough *(signature)*
- **Hand-Dived Scallops** — seared over open fire, brown butter, capers
- **Croquettes** — golden, oozing, changing daily
- **Seasonal Soup & Focaccia** — whatever the market gives us, warm house focaccia

 

## From the Fire

 

- **Dry-Aged Ribeye** — cooked over flame, bone-marrow butter, triple-cooked chips *(signature)*
- **Flame-Roasted Chicken** — half bird, lemon & thyme, pan juices
- **Braised Pig Cheek** — slow-cooked, rich red-wine glaze, creamed potato
- **Steak Sandwich & Fries** — shaved ribeye, caramelised onion, café butter

 

## Comfort & Pasta

 

- **Cacio e Pepe** — fresh pasta, pecorino, cracked pepper, silky egg yolk
- **Spicy Twice-Fried Chicken Buns** — crisp, glazed, pickles, soft milk bun
- **Sunday Roast** — towering Yorkshires, beef-dripping potatoes — *Sundays only*

 

## Sweet & Sips

 

- **Paris Hot Chocolate** — the viral one: thick, dark, decadent
- **House Cocktails** — our own short list, stirred & shaken to order
- **Natural-Leaning Wines** — a carefully chosen, ever-changing list by the glass
- **Refreshing Lagers** — cold, crisp, on tap

 

*Menus change with the season and the market, so dishes here may vary on the day. Please tell us about any allergies or dietary needs when you book — there are always vegetarian options.*
