Alternatively, the à la carte menu offers a fantastic range of options for sharing or keeping all to yourself. Choose from dishes like ox tongue with smoked potato, beetroot, and wet walnut, or dive into a hearty favourite like the forerib of beef & bone marrow cheeseburger, complete with a beef fat brioche bun and chips.
