Once a month through winter we open for a special Friday lunch, and the next one is on 12 June.

We have been looking back at dishes from years past, and decided to bring back one dish for the day.

South East Asian mussels curry or Carl's fish soup - you choose, and the winner takes its place on the menu!

Thank you for this recognition. And for the comments that only you can make but no restaurateur ever could!

We are beyond proud of our magnificent team and our epic suppliers. Of course our customers, many whom are, wonderfully, creatures of habit have shaped The Engine Room, our menu, style of service and beverage offering to be what it is today. The consistency and loyal support of so many guests over so many years is what keeps us loving our hospo life.

It takes a village to keep the consistency that we thrive to achieve and we are fortunate enough to have that village 🤍
