Do we have to have a Set Menu?

 For groups between 6 and 18 people, you may also choose to just order on the night, from our regular menu. For groups of 18 - 24 people we do recommend one of our group menu options, especially on a Friday or Saturday night.

For groups of  more than 24 people a set menu is required.

We love to customise each occasion to suit what works best for you - please don't hesitate to  get in touch. We're also happy to meet up at the restaurant  and have a chat about what you have in mind.​
