Our menu information is included in the downloadable brochure which is available from the Brochures & Menus section of the website. That menu provides more detailed dietary information.

We also offer a downloadable takeaway menu which includes item numbers to simplify ordering by telephone.

Our menu prices are at least seventeen years old and some date from our opening in 1988. The menu and prices will be revised in the near future.

We make a cover charge of £1 per person. Our menu prices do not include service. We add a discretionary 10% service charge to the total bill for all tables of six or more.
