Food for food lovers this Valentine’s

There’s no avoiding Valentine’s Day, unfortunately. So we’re giving you the chance to get together with someone else who loves food as much as you do and try some of our favourite dishes and ingredients.

Our Food Lovers’ Menu is being served from Weds 14 to Sat 17 February, after dark, from 5pm each day.

It’s a simple menu with some of our favourite things; including Red Velvet King Prawns, Grilled Sea Bass with a brilliant chorizo mash, and brilliantly melting Chocolate Fondant. There’s even a sharing option for a starter and dessert, if you really don’t mind leaning in across the table with your dining partner.
