Lunch, Dinner, Weekend Brunch

An extraordinary dining experience is to embark upon a journey. We have created a beautiful place in a spectacular setting and have tended to the details that make you feel at home: staff who care, chefs who are passionate about the quality of seasonal ingredients sourced from local purveyors, farmers and coastal fishermen practising responsible stewardship of the land, rivers and sea that bring to your palate a ‘taste of place’.
