At reopening of our restaurant after the enforced coronavirus shut down, due to the necessity of observing strict distancing and hygiene measures and the uncertainty of customer demand, we are offering a choice of three set price menus. A three-course menu (£36.00) and options of five or seven course tasting menus (£46.50 and £57.00 respectively), available at dinner, Friday and Saturday and on other evenings should there be sufficient demand. There will be a vegetarian option for all three menus. On Sundays, we offer a three course set price menu, to include a vegetarian option and a roast, at £28.00.
And, as of Wednesday 15th July, as a result of a temporary cut in VAT on accommodation and food from 20 percent to 5 percent we are passing on the full benefit of this reduction to diners meaning the above prices are now reduced by 12.5 percent. SO NOW, AT DINNER THREE COURSES ARE £31.550, FIVE COURSES £41.00, AND SEVEN COURSES £50.00. AND SUNDAY LUNCH IS NOW JUST £28.50. Even more reasons to come and sample our award winning cuisine!
Most items on the Sunday menu will be available as a take-away service at reduced cost. Menus featured elsewhere on this page are not currently available. Please note that in order to minimise the risk of late cancellations and 'no shows' at a time when the necessary coronavirus measures make the operational economics very fragile we shall require a non-refundable credit card deposit of £5.00 per diner for all bookings, irrespective of table size. Upon reserving your table you will receive an email, confirming your booking and requesting payment of your deposit. The email will contain a link enabling you to make a secure payment of your deposit. The deposit is transferable if we are notified 72 hours or more prior to the reservation.
The emphasisin James's cooking style is on creating unique flavour combinations using fresh, seasonal and, wherever possible, local produce. So, whatever your choice of menu, your taste buds are in for a treat.
His menus include a set price, two or three course Sunday lunch/supper menu while at dinner there is an a la carte menu with a choice of four starters, four mains and four desserts or you may wish to indulge in James's seven course tasting menu, with the option to be served with wines selected to match individual dishes. And, for those happy to dine early in the evening James offers an ‘early bird’ selection from his full dinner menu at £18.00 for two courses and £24.00 for three. There are daily changing specials and classic pub favorites, such as beer battered haddock with chunky chips and cottage pie with buttered carrots regularly feature on the chalk board. All James's menus include vegetarian options and he is happy to cater for those suffering from most food allergies and intollerances.
