The Menus

Please note that menus below are a sample of the style of dishes that we offer and an indication of prices. Our menu changes every few days due to seasonal availability and to offer a variation for regular diners. We also have a daily 'Chef's Choice Menu'.

The use of fresh and locally sourced produce including fruits, herbs and vegetables from our own gardens is at the core of our food philosophy. The team of dedicated chefs produce tasty and individual dishes that reflect the best of modern British and Continental cuisine. Awards include 2 AA rosettes, Taste Durham Local Champion, Taste Durham Highest Quality Assured and an Enjoy England Breakfast Award.
