Main courses vary from fragrant butter chicken curry, succulent free-range beef fillet with béarnaise sauce to the grilled catch of the bay with lemon butter sauce.

Vegetarians can indulge in handmade linguine with creamy mushrooms and garden peas or the comforting potato gnocchi with spiced butternut purée.
