Build your feast

Choose your courses in whatever combination you want. Each dish serves 2 people and you can mix and match starters, mains and desserts. Feel free to skip a course, or order double. It’s totally flexible and up to you.

Tom’s menu comprises:

Starter:

House Made Ricotta with Salt Baked and Pickled Beetroot and Schezwan Cucumbers.

Tom's signature house made ricotta starter is a true celebration of the humble beetroot.

The creamy ricotta marries perfectly with a medley of heritage beetroots which are served pickled and salt baked. The addition of toasted hazelnuts and schezwan infused cucumber adds both texture and flavour.

The dish is finished off with a light beetroot dressing that brings all of the ingredients into a perfect balance.

Main:

Luxury Beef Short Rib & Stilton Cottage Pie with Roasted Crown Prince Squash.

Tom's luxurious cottage pie takes a classic dish to an all new level.

Tender slow cooked beef short rib is mixed with creamy stilton to create a wonderfully rich filling which melts in the mouth. This is topped with buttery mashed potatoes then grilled until bubbling and crispy on top. Served with Crown Prince Squash roasted with garlic and sage, this dish is the ultimate comfort food for a cold winter's evening.

Dessert:

Apple & Vanilla Panna Cotta with Almond Crumble

Tom's take on the classic panna cotta is the perfect way to end your feast.

The silky smooth panna cotta is bursting with luxurious vanilla flavour. This is complimented by a refreshing apple gel and the satisfying crunch of an almond crumble topping.

This dessert is everything a panna cotta should be; light, creamy and indulgent.
