With recommendation I begin with the apple twist cocktail and a great choice it is. Sweet, smooth with the alcohol coming in gently, garnished with dried apple and a cute pink daisy. A refreshing cocktail to accompany myself whilst wandering through the menu – a contemporary crab twist on all your English brunch favourites.

An appetiser of grilled tiger prawns presented elegantly layered one by one, shortly gone, one by one. Tamarind glaze, honey and Asian spices, sweet flavours with a kind inkling of chilli. Brunch is served – king crab benedict delicately poached egg, on top of a fresh, yet bouncy English breakfast muffin.
Carefully picked crabmeat, feathered in-between the muffin and the egg. Finishing with the creamiest of hollandaise sauces – an exquisite meal. The touch of crabmeat gives the benedict an extra pop of richness – perfect for brunch.
A cheeky mix of the main menu, which by the way is just as good as the brunch menu. Why not add to your dish? With various sides to choose from on the main menu, fries, truffle fries, sweet potatoes fries and many more – after all brunch is both breakfast and lunch.
Satisfied? I was, but nonetheless full or not dessert is a must have and with a glimpse of the menu I had to try and so do you! The sundae brownie a personal favourite – an unconventional twist to a sundae, dissected brownie pieces, layered between smooth and charming ice cream with added fresh sweet strawberries.
