There’s also a regularly changing ‘specials board’ of delicious ‘Field to Fork’ dishes dictated by the seasons and what’s best on the day.
Behind the bar, a sublime list of delicious seasonally changing, bespoke gin cocktails using Roots + Seeds own London gin made by co-founder, Sam Lawson King plus delicious and exciting wine lists curated by local wine company Talking Wines, and local brewed beers and ales.
