About this space

A chef-led restaurant that champions wild, sustainable British ingredients and a menu built around dry-aged meats and seasonal produce.

Design: An elegant, contemporary dining room with dark-painted walls, warm timber floors, leather banquettes and upholstered chairs. Brass globe pendants and large windows provide layered natural and artificial light while exposed ceiling services add a restrained industrial edge.

Features: The venue has a staffed bar offering cocktails, beer and a curated wine list and a full restaurant kitchen for plated menus. An outdoor seating area is available for alfresco dining. The venue provides Wi‑Fi, step-free access and accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Food-focused groups seeking a polished, seated dinner or a relaxed, social reception centred on dining and drinks.

What sets it apart: A central open forge grill that cooks over oak and beech logs alongside on-display maturation cabinets for dry-aged beef and venison.

What guests say: The restaurant provides attentive, knowledgeable front-of-house service and consistently well-executed, flavourful dishes, particularly steaks. The dining room is warm and inviting and includes an engaging open-kitchen cooking experience.
