The menu changes with the seasons as the talented chefs, who are led by the award winning Head Chef Mateusz Nowatkowski, believe that only the finest, freshest ingredients will suffice when serving their customers.

Begin the experience with one of the superb starters, such as the scrumptious handmade salmon fish cake, complete with wilted spinach and a sorrel sauce, the delectable courgette and asparagus risotto, made with Pecorino cheese, onion ash and tomato essence, and the wondrous crispy duck, bean shoots and watercress, adorned with micro coriander leaves, white radish and a soy and sesame dressing.
Continue on to the main course, where the menu offers even more enticing tastes. Particularly noteworthy dishes include the rich truffle tagliatelle, mixed with wild mushrooms, young Pecorino cheese and a truffle oil, the succulent 8oz fillet steak, partnered with either Julienne fries or sweet potato fries, and the zesty pan seared red mullet, served with blood orange, grapefruit and a fennel and tomato salad.
