Dish highlights include a Star anise and orange cured trout with artichoke purée, lime and sea vegetables, a Seared turkey roulade served with smoked salsify purée, fig, and chestnut compote, and Porchetta with cauliflower purée, redcurrant, and almonds, ending on sweets of Caramel panna cotta with homemade gingerbread and a light Chocolate mousse with a limoncello parfait and coco nibs.

The Menu Led by Head Chef Clifton D’Souza, the menu focuses on simple and delicious Italian dishes where seasonal ingredients take centre stage. Typical starters might include the likes of Burrata Pugliese with peas, confit leeks and parsley with house-made pasta dishes featuring Paccheri mixed with smoked tomato pesto and toasted pumpkin seeds and Ossobuco tortellini in marsala sauce with hazelnuts.
Additional mains come in the form of Pan-fried coley with shaved fennel, coco bean and clam stew, Braised beef Parmigiana of roasted aubergine, mozzarella and Cavolo Nero; and a succulent Seared chicken breast with sweetcorn, burnt leeks and toasted hazelnuts.
