The way we cook
No gas. No shortcuts. Just wood.
One open hearth runs the length of the kitchen. Everything on the menu meets it, from whole fish to a wedge of cabbage.
We buy whole animals and day-boat fish, cook what the growers bring that week, and pour wine from small producers. Order a few plates and pass them round.
Embers, not burners
Oak for heat, beech for sweetness. The fire is lit at two and fed until the last plate.
The season decides
Vegetables get the best seat on the grill. The menu changes when the market garden does.
Small-grower wine
A short list with a person behind every bottle. Most come by the glass.
From the embers
Three plates to start with.
From the sea
Whole day-boat bream£32
Butterflied over the coals, fennel, lemon.
From the garden
Blackened hispi cabbage£14
Hazelnut butter, apple, thyme.
