We’re back 🫰🏼

Chocolate blood orange brulee tart

Chocolate almond tart shell, baked chocolate mousse, blood orange marmalade, vanilla custard brulee. Jaffa vibes 💫

Quiches are back 🥀

Happy Jerusalem artichoke, rapini + chilli oil quiche season 🎄

New autumn choux on the menu for a couple of weeks - spent a little while thinking and creating this one 🐿️

White chocolate + parsnip namelaka, spiced pecans, poached quince, shortbread

Namelaka is a smooth cream that’s rich like ganache and light like mousse. White chocolate brings sweetness whilst parsnip brings an earthiness that balances the sweet. It’s not an overbearing or even savoury tasting cream, familiar but with a flavour you most likely wouldn’t be able to pinpoint unless told.

Pecans also help to balance the sweet white chocolate and floral elements in the quince.

All in all, it was very well received in the kitchen, even from those sceptical. It sounds a bit whack, but I encourage you to give something new a go. It’s a combination for flavour’s sake, not just to put a bunch of weird ingredients together for the ego of it 🤎🤎

The classic banana pudding.

Inspired by magnolia bakery (even though I’ve not yet tried it)

Housemade “Nila” vanilla cookies / wafers, the lightest vanilla custard cream, fresh banana.

Banoffee banana pudding.

Same as the previous pudding with the addition of miso caramel.

It’s back - better than ever.

The lightest, fluffiest, thirsty sponge soaked in espresso three milks. Layered with espresso soaked savoiardi and topped with even more mascarpone cream than ever before. Finished with a generous dusting of cocoa, it’s rich, light and delicious all at once.

Huge thank you to Robbie Almanac Coffee Roasters for pulling 8 litres of espresso this week for me 🤎🤎 we only use the good stuff here!

Porchetta toastie

House sesame focaccia, basil pinenut pesto, spicy giardiniera (contains peanuts), provolone cheese

27/05/2026

Quite possibly one of the greatest pies we’ve created.

When baked, the gravy soaks into the pastry, making even the shell one of the tastiest parts.

It’s full of flavour, familiar flavour but still surprisingly tasty.

Punjabi butter chicken - available this weekend.
