Bespoke menus

Led by Head Chef Salvador Martin, our kitchen team will work closely with you to design a bespoke menu that reflects your taste and vision. We take pride in using fresh, seasonal produce from local suppliers wherever possible, preparing dishes that are full of flavour and made with care. Whatever the occasion, we’ll make sure the food feels personal and perfectly suited to your event.
