The room, the bar and the oven

The room

The building, in the light it actually has. There are no diners in any of these, which is deliberate and has a page of its own.

What a photograph of a plate does not show. The photographs on this site are of this room and this food, taken in the light this room actually has. They are still photographs, which means they were taken at the moment the plate was best and are not a promise about the plate you will be handed forty minutes into a Saturday service. The dining room in particular looks emptier in pictures than it will feel, because a photograph of a full restaurant is a photograph of the backs of strangers.

Every caption above describes something that is genuinely in this building — the seat counts, the oven, the private room and the step-free entrance are all on the about page as well, and the two lists are checked against each other when this site is built.

Book a table

Pick a date, tell us how many of you there are, and the form shows the times we can actually seat that many — not every time we are open. Parties of eight and under book instantly; nine or more becomes a private dining enquiry, because a group that size needs a room and a set menu rather than a table. The twelve bar seats are never reservable, so there is always somewhere to eat here without a booking.
