Executive chef Aaron Ward (ex-Sixpenny and Shell House), recently awarded 2 two hats in the SMH Good Food, works closely with producers, farmers and fisherman that all have a great ethos on producing quality product for the guest.

Very satisfying experience in the bistro, with excellent food and service. I can recommend the roast chicken which was very tasty and with generous portions. The Eton mess dessert was suitably light and satisfying.
