There’s something timeless about a well-laid table.
Soft light, pressed linen, the gentle rhythm of service…details that have defined French dining for generations. 🇫🇷
From the framed carte de saison to the final placement of a glass, every element is considered, a quiet nod to tradition, where hospitality is as important as what’s on the plate.

Torched to a deep amber finish, the caramel gives way to a delicately set custard, smooth and lightly infused with vanilla.
It's elegant, restrained, and deeply satisfying. This is a timeless finish to the meal.

This is our steamed chalk stream trout, delicately prepared and layered with the freshness of the season.
Leeks, pink fir potatoes and St Austell mussels, brought together with a silky beurre blanc and finished with herbs from the garden.

Our roast Berkshire pork with prune, apple and sauce Robert is everything you want from a French main, rich, comforting and full of flavour.

A very good way to spend an afternoon.

Since 2001, our focus has stayed the same.
Fresh ingredients, attention to detail and service that feels thoughtful rather than overly formal. A kitchen and dining room working together to create something consistent, day after day.
More than twenty years on, that approach still guides everything we do.

Tavel is often called the serious side of rosé.
Deeper in colour and fuller in character, it has the structure to sit comfortably alongside richer dishes, from beef to creamy white sauces, without ever feeling heavy.
Join us and enjoy a glass with your next visit.

A glass poured, a plate set down and nowhere else to be.

It’s in these little moments that a dish really comes to life.
Finished at the table, the pour, the cut open, shared and enjoyed slowly, just as it should be.
We look forward to welcoming you.

Rhubarb has arrived, and for us that always feels like spring has properly begun.
We’ve paired it with bay leaf and blood orange, and finished it with candied ginger ice cream for a little warmth at the end.
Fresh, balanced and very much shaped by the season. Come and enjoy it with us.

In France, Easter marks the return of the bells and the beginning of long spring lunches. Tradition says the church bells fly to Rome before coming back on Easter Sunday, bringing chocolate and signalling it’s time to gather.
Hens, eggs and the signs of new life follow close behind.
Bread is shared, butter passed and the table becomes the centre of the day. A little French tradition, carried into April with us.
Come and join us at our table.

Fresh Cornish cod, gently roasted until just set, resting on olive oil mash with bright lemon and garlic courgettes. The warmth of Iberico chorizo and sweet datterini tomatoes adds richness, lifted by crispy smoked eel and pesto.
Balanced, thoughtful and quietly indulgent, a dish shaped by seasonality and restraint.
Book your table and join us for lunch or dinner to experience it for yourself.

Fresh from the coast, clear waters and carefully selected farms, each ingredient arrives with purpose.
Delicate cod lifted by chorizo and tomato. Trout gently steamed and brightened with beurre blanc and herbs. Tender corn-fed chicken paired with black garlic and Madeira.
Flavours layered thoughtfully, textures considered, every detail refined.

At the heart of this dish is the produce, carefully sourced, thoughtfully prepared and allowed to speak for itself.
Celeriac gently braised into a delicate blanquette, smoked duck breast layered for depth, toasted buckwheat bringing warmth and texture. A crisp duck egg, winter truffle and a touch of fino sherry complete the plate with balance and restraint.
Every element chosen with intention. Every detail treated with care.

Beyond the plates and the pass, there is the room itself.
A space shaped by family, craft and 25 years of quiet dedication. Soft lighting, crisp linens and an atmosphere designed for lingering, where good food and good company take centre stage.
At The French Table, hospitality is at the heart of everything we do.
We look forward to welcoming you to our home on Maple Road. Book your table with us today!

At the centre of the plate, a golden gougère waits.
Then the malted cauliflower velouté cascades gently around the aged Comté, steam rising softly as it meets sweet soubise onion and silky Mornay. Textures shift, flavours deepen, and the dish comes fully to life.
Comforting yet elegant, rooted in classical French technique, it’s a starter designed to set the tone for your dining experience at The French Table.

A little theatre at the table and an experience to be savoured from first glance to final sip.
