Weekend menu – Friday 23 and Saturday 24 March 2018

Why is it that people ring to book a table, ring again to change that booking then don’t bother to turn up or cancel on the day? Even though we cook to order there is an element of wastage as we have baked bread and prepared canapes tailored to their dietary needs and hopefully not turned other customers away in the belief that the table was sold. Looking ahead…. British summer time starts on Sunday. Tables available for dinner on Friday and Saturday at time of writing. Please call 01453 832808 to book.
