Eating

     
 

• Modern British cooking with a sprinkling of continental style and technique

• Great produce from local suppliers

• The wine list combines the best of the classic regions and the excitement of the New World

• The cocktail and champagne terrace serves the most stylish drinks in the region

• Inventive bar snacks available all day

Our philosophy on your plate We only serve you food we’d be happy to be served ourselves. This is why all our chicken, local eggs and Warwickshire pork are free range. Our beef is 28 day dry-aged from Herefordshire Cross herds. We avoid air-freighted fruit and vegetables by buying seasonal and British produce wherever possible. Our cheeses come from artisan producers. Sourcing the best quality fresh ingredients from ethical producers costs us more, but we know that if we can trust our suppliers, then you can trust us.
