Sparkling wine on arrival

  • Oeil De Perdrix Rosé

    What do church organs and high-powered motorbikes have in common? They're the hobbies of Michel Parisot - how he spends his downtime from making sublime Champagnes. It's a fitting portrait of a winemaker whose approach to traditional fizz is decidedly unconventional. Michel is all about maximum flavour. Pinot Noir grapes are picked late in the harvest for as much aromatic flavour as possible. Michel then uses only the first press of the grapes, guaranteeing freshness. The wine is then aged for a minimum of four years – far longer than the required 30 months. The result is a rosé Champagne which punches well above its price point. Expect moreish flavours of redcurrant and raspberry. Although it's dry in style, the creamy texture is perfect with fruity puddings. In 2022, this wine won an IWC award.

Pre starter

  • classic French onion soup

    with Gruyère crouton.

  • Wine Pairing | Don Pardon Fleurie Cot

    The acclaimed Pardon & Fils make this on the excellent Côte des Labourons area of Fleurie, one of the finest crus of Beaujolais. It's a cru known for its elegant and fragrant expressions of Gamay, and this wine is a brilliant example. It has notes of red fruits and blackcurrant, a rich, silky palate and a long finish.

Starter

  • Sole meunière

    with rocket and sun blushed tomato salad, fresh sea herbs, crispy capers and lemon and garlic aioli.

  • Wine Pairing | CHOREY LES BEAUNE VV GRAMONT

    Domaine Marchard de Gramont picks every Pinot Noir grape by hand before it ages this light, smooth Pinot Noir in its 11th-century cellar for up to 14 months in both French and American oak. Expect notes of red and black fruits, elegant tannins and a delicious aftertaste from this great-value red Burgundy.

Main

  • Pan fried Duck breast

    served with petit pois ala francais, dauphinois potato, honey roasted carrot purée, and a rich red wine Jus.

  • Wine Pairing | CHATEAU ARNAUTON 2014

    Fronsac is situated in Bordeaux’s Right Bank. It’s predominantly made from Merlot, just like neighbouring Pomerol and Saint-Émilion. This wine also includes Cabernet Franc and Malbec, bringing greater structure and vibrant, fruity aromas. The 2014 vintage won a gold medal at the prestigious Concours Général Agricole de Paris competition. There’s notes of red and black fruits with a spicy hint of vanilla and elegant tannins.

Dessert

  • Profiteroles

    filled with crème patissiere, topped with a rich dark chocolate sauce and served with hazelnut praline and fresh berries.

  • Wine Pairing | AUGUSTA BRUT NV

    The Augusta is made by the same house that brought you Oeil de Perdrix. This Pinot Noir-dominated Champagne is complex and powerful, with flavours of brioche, yellow plum and apricot. It's a full-flavoured fizz that really is excellent value for money. In 2022, this wine won an IWC award.
