Venison is back 🏞️🦌🌲. An extremely high quality free range ingredient high in protein/iron and exceptionally lean. Barely any travel involved to reach our plates 🍽️. Not to mention delicious!!!

Available from 5pm Wednesday along with a couple of tantalising special starters we're trailing this week, plus of course a delicious fish special. This week we have charred monkfish 😍. (Photos to come!)

The dish:
Venison rilette, venison slowly simmering for hours upon hours, allowed to cool and mixed with loads of fresh herbs and flavours. Tender and delicious.
A mouthwatering venison and port jus to smother it in. Served with fresh greens and fondant potato.
