ChalkStream Trout en Croûte, Roe Beurre Blanc
A really fun one to develop this week and get on the menu from last night…a prime steak of trout wrapped in a light but flavour packed mousse made from the trout trim, cream, whites and chervil. Wrapped in crêpes and then latticed puff pastry.
On a bed of luxurious beurre blanc with salmon roe, chervil & chives.
Delighted to get it on the menu.

Our bookings are now open for December!

This year, we will be closed on the 24th, 25th, 26th and 27th, but as an extra gesture, we will be open every Monday night from the 30th of November till the end of 2026.

We’ll offer our usual seasonal menu alongside our Festive Bavette De Luxe menu throughout the month.

We are taking up to 10 people, subject to availability.

As last year, we will be hosting a New Year’s Eve dinner, bookings will open for that special night in mid-October.

À très vite.
L’équipe Bavette.

This one’s been fly out out since it came on the menu last week 😉
Roast Partridge Crown, Confit Leg Chou Farci, Parsnip Purée, Juniper Demi-Glace
These beautiful red legged partridge from North Yorkshire are broken down to get the maximum we can from each bird. The crown is roasted and glazed with a mix of apricot jam, red w**e vinegar and juniper to lend a little sweetness to the lean breasts.
We salt and confit the legs, pick it down and mix with lentils, the livers and more poix then wrap in cabbage leaves to make what a fair few have described as the best bit.
All the bones and left over crowns from the previous service are roasted up and turned into a port and beef based stock then pimped up with our house jus and lots of juniper to make a deep, rich and hopefully elegant juniper sauce.
This all sits on a silky bed of parsnip purée cut with a little celeriac to keep it honest.
A joy to prep, cook, plate and eat.
Here for the season.

What an honour to be named number 10 in TimeOut’s list of the best UK restaurants.
To be included around so many restaurants we admire is very humbling.
Huge congratulations, as always, to our amazing team and thank you to everyone near and far who continues to support our neighbourhood bistro. X

Roast Monkfish, Coco de Paimpol Beans, Fine Herbs, Mushrooms
One of our absolute favourite seasonal ingredients, these special beans from Brittany are utterly delicious. Cooked gently in vegetable stock and turned into a rich deep cream sauce and finished with chervil and tarragon.

The petit fours have had a glow up 😍
We always like to give you a little treat with the bill, whether you’re the one paying or not.
From chocolate truffles to pâte de fuits they’ve had a few incarnations.
But we’ve upgraded to these little legends that are Canelés. Originating in the convents of Bordeaux in the 18th Century with a small hiatus during the Revolution, it was a way to use up the leftover yolks - as the w**emakers needed the whites to clarify their w**es.
With the contrast of the crust of the outside and soft, sweet center they are utterly delicious and it’s easily to see why they’ve hung around all these years.
