About

Welcome to The Dining Room, where Mediterranean inspired flavours meet the finest British ingredients in a celebration of quality, sustainability and creativity.  

Our menu invites you to embark on a culinary journey through carefully crafted small plates, designed to be shared and savoured with those around you. We recommend ordering 4-5 dishes per person, with plates arriving as they’re prepared, so you can enjoy a dynamic dining experience at a relaxed pace.   

Whether you're here for a special evening with friends, an intimate celebration, or a casual family dinner, we aim to pair exquisite food and wine with the joy of great company.  

At The Dining Room, every bite is an invitation to indulge and connect.
