Say hello to our dish of the week: a beautifully sun-drenched Niçoise salad 🥗✨
Swipe for the proper, mouth-watering breakdown.
We’ve loaded this one with perfectly-jammy St Ewe’s eggs, earthy-sweet Jersey Royal potatoes, and flavour-packed heritage Isle of Wight tomatoes. All tossed in a zingy-fresh citrus dressing. 🍋
Pro tip: always opt for the smoked anchovies. Trust us on this one! 🏁

50 days until the FIFA World Cup 2026 hits our screens.
And 5 tips to make sure you’re ready for it all kicking off on June 11th.
1. Make friends with the bar team
There are a lot of matches ahead. You’ll be seeing plenty of each other.
2. Get the app downloaded.
No one wants to be three-deep at the bar when something happens. 3. Do a practice run
Bar > Table > Bar. No detours.
4. Choose your team wisely
And by that, we mean who you’re bringing with you.
(Strategically selecting shorter friends is entirely up to you.)
5. Don’t forget to book 🍻
We’ve got plenty of space for walk-ins, but if you fancy a table to cling onto when it all gets a bit tense… you know what to do.
