Dinner under the pine arc

A small kitchen built around one open fire. We cook what the week brings in and serve it at a slow pace, in a room made for long evenings.

Our kitchen

Cooked over embers, led by the season

Every plate passes over the same hearth. Vegetables blister in the coals, fish rests on pine boughs and bread bakes in the fire's last heat after service.

The menu is short and changes often. When something runs out, we write a new dish rather than swap in a substitute.

Good to know

Before you visit

Can you cook for allergies and dietary needs?

Yes. Most dishes can be adapted and there is always a vegetable-led option from the fire. Please tell us when you book so the kitchen can prepare.

Are children welcome?

Children are welcome in the dining room at lunch and for early dinner. The chef's counter is best suited to guests aged twelve and up.

Do you take walk-ins?

A few bar seats are kept for walk-ins each evening. Booking is the surest way to get a table, especially at weekends.
