Tonight's menu

Nine courses, from cold to coals to embers. This is the autumn menu. It changes about every five weeks.

Cold

Before the fire gets close.

  1. Oysters, green apple, sorrel

    Three oysters on ice, each with a spoon of frozen apple juice.

    Dry cider aged on its lees

  2. Scallop, beet, buttermilk

    Raw scallop sliced thin, pickled beet and a little dill oil.

    Grüner Veltliner

  3. Bread and cultured butter

    Sourdough baked right in the hearth. We culture the butter for three days.

Coals

The middle of the night, and the hottest part of the fire.

  1. Mushroom broth, herb oil

    Wild mushrooms roasted over coals, then steeped into a clear broth.

    Fino sherry

  2. Leek, trout roe, brown butter

    Leeks charred black, peeled and dressed in brown butter.

    Chenin blanc

  3. Fish of the day on the grate

    Whatever the boat brings in on Tuesday, cooked over embers with young leeks.

    Skin-contact pinot gris

  4. Lamb, black garlic, smoked eggplant

    Loin cooked slowly on the low side of the fire.

    Syrah

Embers

Sweet things cooked in what the fire leaves behind.

  1. Pear in the ashes, crème fraîche

    A whole pear buried in hot ash for twenty minutes.

    Late harvest riesling

  2. Burnt honey, rye, plum

    Honey taken almost too far, then frozen. Served on toasted rye with roast plum.

Before you come

  • Tell us about allergies when you book. With a week's notice we can cook around most of them.
  • We can do vegetarian. We can't do fully vegan, because a lot of the menu is cooked in animal fat.
  • Service is included in the price. Sales tax is added to the bill.
  • Dishes change with what the farms send us, so your night may look a little different.
