Watermelon, carasello, black olive, feta 🍉

Brand new on the menu: juicy wedges of watermelon and galia melon, crisp carasello cucumber, salty feta and black lime salt. There’s black olive tapenade underneath too, because we couldn’t help ourselves.

Cold, bright, salty, sharp and refreshing

Halloumi, chamomile & fennel honey 🧡

Grilled until golden, finished with chamomile honey, fennel seed, Aleppo chilli, lemon zest and a little Maldon salt.

Built for the middle of the table.

Grapefruit ezme, tahini, pomegranate molasses 🧡

Chopped with tomatoes, chilli, red onion and plenty of herbs, sat on a generous swoosh of tahini and finished with pomegranate molasses and Urfa chilli.

Fresh, creamy, punchy, messy in all the right ways.

Not your average Baba Ganoush 🍆

Our Baba starts with aubergines smoked until soft, silky and properly charred. Blended with tahini, garlic and miso, then finished with fried curry leaves and toasted pine nuts.

Swipe for the full smear.

Making Kohlrabi the main character ❤️‍🔥

Salt-baked until tender, rubbed with coffee & warm spices, then grilled hard for a deep, smoky crust and an almost steak-like texture.

Underneath, Estate Dairy yoghurt and smoked date purée. Over the top, a glossy lapsang, tamar and date glaze; with candied pecans for crunch and jalapeño shatta for a little heat

Labneh with confit garlic & za’atar 🧡

Cool strained yoghurt, warm garlic oil, plenty of za’atar, and laffa never far behind.

Purple sprouting broccoli had its moment. Now asparagus & piattoni beans have taken over its place on our menu.

Grilled lightly, dressed generously in sweet, sharp sumac jam, and served with silky pine nut butter. Clean, grassy, nutty, a little charred.

On the menu now. 🧡
