Sunday Lunch

Three courses, three meats, sixteen seats.

Book a table

A succulent three-course Sunday roast, from tasting starters to three roast meats with all the trimmings, done properly.

Three roast meats, carved generously, with a wide selection of vegetables: cauliflower cheese bubbling from the oven, roasted beetroot, honey-glazed carrots, roast parsnips and slow-cooked red cabbage. Yorkshire puddings risen tall, roast potatoes with a proper crunch, our own homemade stuffing, and a gravy that is worth the drive on its own.

Everything on the plate is made here, from scratch, in our own kitchen. Nothing comes out of a packet and nothing is basic. Every portion gets the time and effort you would put into a meal for people you want to impress, which is exactly why we only seat sixteen, twice.

Sunday lunch is for grown-ups. We don't take bookings for children.

The menu

The shape of the day. The detail is our surprise.

To begin · three taster starters
  • The soup Made that morning from whatever is best that week, with homemade bread still warm from the oven and good salted butter
  • Two small plates Chosen each Sunday by the chef. Small, rich and over in a few mouthfuls, so you are left wanting the next thing
The roast
  • Three roast meats Slow-roasted, rested properly and carved generously. Served with a Yorkshire pudding risen tall and roast potatoes crisp on the outside and soft in the middle
  • Everything that goes with it Cauliflower cheese bubbling from the oven, roasted beetroot, honey-glazed carrots, roast parsnips and slow-cooked red cabbage
  • Our stuffing Made by hand to our own recipe, and the thing people ask about on the way out. Contains nuts.
  • The gravy Built slowly from the roasting juices, the way it should be. Dark, glossy and poured as freely as you like
To finish · three taster desserts
  • A selection of three sweet things Brought to the table to share, so everyone gets a taste of each and nobody has to choose
  • Or two sweet, and a board of local cheeses Cheeses from the North, with homemade chutney and crackers. £4 supplement

Allergy note: our stuffing contains nuts. Tell us about any allergies or dietary needs when you book.
