Our August menu pays tribute to one of our favourite ways to eat in the summer - with generous sharing platters lining the table.

We start with a welcome drink. This month as our own mirabelles become ripe, we’re offering a mirabelle and cardamom shrub with local white vermouth and sparkling water. This is a light and refreshing aperitif, made to whet the appetite. Alongside this you can snack on our delicious sweet onion and rosemary focaccia with local olive oil from the Tarn, and aged balsamic vinegar.

Once gathered around the table you’ll start with a tomato tart tatin with black olive crumb. Heritage tomatoes sit atop buttery, crisp, homemade puff pastry for the perfect taste of summer.

For the main course, we’re serving up sharing platters of tender guinea fowl (pintade) dressed with white wine, olives and wild oregano. For vegetarians we’re offering roasted peppers stuffed with fresh goats cheese, on a tomato and basil sauce. Both dishes are served with heaps of shoestring fries, generous dollops of paprika spiked aioli, and courgette, pea, ricotta and mint salad.

Roquefort serves as our cheese course, with fresh figs and homemade quince jelly - the perfect accompaniment.

A palate cleanser of zurra (white sangria) jelly with apricots in sherry takes us into dessert. Finally, we round off the meal with a Peach Melba-inspired pavlova: meringue nests - crunchy on the outside, soft inside - topped with poached peaches, raspberry coulis, soft crème Chantilly and a light crème anglaise.
