A new menu for OctoberBest 2026

Seafood is at the heart of our OctoberBest menu. Start with three raw rock oysters served sashimi style with pickled ginger, ponzu, wasabi and seaweed. Or choose tiger prawn tempura with aioli and watercress. Whelks come with a crémant and candied lemon emulsion, wild garlic and herb butter, and toasted brown sourdough.

For a dish to share, there’s whole seabass with mashed potato, petit pois, bacon, mint and lemon. The menu also offers a pork chop for two, served with peppercorn sauce, chunky chips and wilted spinach. If you’re looking for something different, try the wood pigeon breast with celeriac purée, blackberry and port jus, hazelnuts and nasturtium.

There are several vegetarian dishes to choose from, too. Wild mushroom croquettes are served with seaweed beurre blanc and charred lemon. Pumpkin and water chestnut jiaozi bring together a Chinkiang glaze, shallot, Sichuan pepper, sesame and shiso. You can also choose burrata with radicchio, Granny Smith apple, samphire, honey-glazed pecans and mustard frills.

With seafood favourites, dishes to share and vegetarian choices on the menu, you can build a lunch or dinner that suits the occasion. The set-price format makes it easy to sample something new alongside a dish you already love.
