Mains include a choice of traditional Sunday Roasts served with ‘All the Trimmings’; Pan Fried Seabass Fillet with Ratatouille, Crispy Squid & Sauce Vierge; Pan Roasted Cod Loin, Roasted Onion Puree, Saffron Potatoes, Rainbow Vegetables & a Chive Cream; and Fine Tart of Caramelised Onion & Goats Cheese with a Panache of Vegetables and other Spring inspired dishes.
