Today in the kitchen

Honest cooking shaped by the season’s best

Our menu changes every week with what growers and fishermen bring to the door. Expect a short list of dishes, cooked carefully and served without fuss or ceremony.

Good food with good company here

Breakfast. Long lunches. Dinner worth lingering over.

The cooks, bakers and hosts who bring warmth and care to every plate and every table

We opened with twelve seats, one oven and a belief that a neighbourhood deserves somewhere to eat well any day of the week. The room has grown, but the idea has not. Bread is baked here each morning, stocks simmer overnight, and vegetables arrive from farms we can name. Our chefs trained in serious kitchens and chose to cook food people want twice a week, not twice a year. The hosts know regulars by name.

Come for coffee and a pastry at the bar, bring the family for Sunday lunch, or book the long table for a celebration. Whatever the occasion, we will find you a seat, pour you something good and feed you properly.

Dinner service

A short evening menu of small plates, wood-fired mains and puddings, with wines from growers we know.

Café and bakery

Coffee roasted nearby, pastries from our own ovens and a breakfast menu that runs until noon, every day of the week.

Private events

The upstairs room seats thirty for birthdays, dinners and team lunches, with menus planned around you.

Book your table

A seat is waiting, whether it is a quick lunch or a long evening with friends

We keep half the room for walk-ins, so there is usually space. For groups of six or more, weekends and the terrace in summer, a booking is wise.

A menu that follows the four seasons

Dishes change often, but these four parts of the menu are always there, built on the best of the week.

From the grill

Whole fish, aged beef and seasonal vegetables, cooked on our charcoal grill.

Garden sides

Leaves, roots and pulses from nearby farms, simply dressed and warm.

Sweet things

Tarts, ices and a proper cheese board, with coffee or something stronger.

Guest stories

What our guests say

We came for a quick supper and stayed three hours. The sea bass was perfect, the staff were kind to our children, and the bill was fair. We have been back since.

Dinner, last May

Thomas Clark

Best breakfast in the neighbourhood. The sourdough is baked that morning, the coffee is excellent, and nobody rushes you even with a queue at the door.

They hosted my mother’s seventieth upstairs. The menu was planned with us, every dietary need was handled, and the room looked wonderful all night.
