Sharing dinner includes ‘The Club Board” with cured salmon, crispy squid and more, a whole roast fish and chocolate fondant. Available throughout August 2015.
Special mention
…to their swordfish, squid and chorizo risotto. Easily the crowd favourite, though I fell in love with their rib eye. Carved and served by Executive chef Nick Hazard, this was perfectly cooked rare and had gorgeous smoke and beef flavour missing from most restuarants.
