Our mindful menu.
Life is about balance and we are not here to preach to you or guilt you into making certain choices, we love our menu and each dish is carefully thought about in detail.
Alongside carbon, we consider all the other factors surrounding each ingredient to make a level choice, such as; where each ingredient is sourced from? What are the values of that company? What is the quality of that ingredient? How is that ingredient bred/grown? Does it make its impact in a different way? Is this the most delicious form of this ingredient? Is it practical to work with? What are its waste bi-products? Can we utilise these in various ways?
And many more questions are discussed, argued and hatched out during the menu planning stage but we always endeavour to keep true to our values.
Below you will find the CO2 emissions of each of our previous menu dishes shown in bold. This is something we have been working hard at, behind the scenes to give you, our lovely guests, a clear view of our menu because having all the information allows you to make the decision that is right for you. The updated Summer 2025 menu is currently being calculated...stay tuned!
