The joys of Spring and Summer. Fresh salads, bowls of steaming mussels fresh from the coast, charcuterie boards for lazy afternoon grazing in the courtyard join our traditional pub classics. We have fired-up our Bertha charcoal oven in the kitchen so many of our dishes now have an extra delicious applewood charcoal smokiness to them. Tasty ‘Small Bites’ dishes that you can have on their own as a nibble with a casual pint of beer or order a number to mix & match and spend the afternoon sharing them with friends in our pretty, leafy garden. Strawberry cream teas in the high summer, chef Andy’s summer puddings…mmm, bring it on!

When the nights start drawing in. In the Autumn and Winter we focus more on our large supply of top quality local game and hearty dishes to warm you up when you come in from the cold. There are usually at least a couple of specials on the board as seasonal ingredients come into their prime and inspirational produce arrives at our kitchen door.

If you fancy a lighter lunch a number of the dishes on the menu can be ordered in a starter size and there are a selection of delicious and generously proportioned ‘sub’ sandwiches. Check what specials are on the board and ask your server to tell you about the puddings of the day.

Our ‘Specials’ are really special!

Special purchases of luxury ingredients that suddenly become available in small quantities like a box of whole plaice or Cornish mussels, or short-seasoned ingredients like hand-foraged New Forest mushrooms. They vary throughout the year and with the weather. Blink and you will miss them.

Our Facebook page is the best place to find what specials are on this week.
