The kitchen

Modern British cooking, from lunch to Sunday roast

The frequently changing menu uses produce from neighbourhood suppliers, with meat from Swaledale Foods, fish from Fin & Flounder and bread from E5 Bakehouse. Come for steak, burgers, pies and chips, or settle in for Sunday lunch, served from noon to 9pm.

The bar

Independent bottles and local beers in a Victorian setting

The drinks list covers classic, organic, biodynamic and low-sulphur wines alongside craft beer and local ales. Inside, exposed brick and high ceilings give the dining room a generous feel, while outdoor seating adds another option by Victoria Park.
