Super sustainable fish from the Chalk Stream Trout Farm is marinated in a blend of Indian seeds and spices and cooked in a hot oven to replicate a traditional tandoor. The result is a blistering, full flavoured piece of fish with slightly charred flesh. Salty preserved lime mayo mellows any heat from the spices, and a fluffy naan is on hand to mop up the leftovers.
We don't want to overwork our seas. Instead, Head Chef Andy Hilton picks from the best seasonal and sustainable catches of the moment to create a perfectly balanced dish of the most delicious fish and shellfish, straight from port to plate. Please ask your waiter what's on the menu today.
The best, freshest fish from local quays, perfectly prepared. It may be world-class Bass from Poole or Lemon Sole from Lyme Bay. It's all seafood for the soul. Just ask your waiter or check the board to see how it will be served today.
Our commitment to using fresh seasonal ingredients means we've deliberately left parts of the menu a little open to interpretation. This allows Head Chef Andy Hilton and his team to use their creativity to bring you the best of what's on offer. Our staff will advise on daily specials and any menu changes.
