Tonight's menu featured a selection of starters and mains accompanied by delicious sides and desserts that promise to complement your dining experience:
Starters:
Heritage Berkshire Pork Belly
Apple & Walnut Preserves: Complementing the pork belly are their house-made apple and walnut preserves. The sweet and slightly tart apples pair beautifully with the earthy, crunchy walnuts, creating a delightful contrast in textures and flavours. This preserve adds a touch of sweetness that balances the savoury richness of the pork.
Burgundy Eschalots: Adding a gourmet twist to the dish are Burgundy eschalots, known for their mild, sweet flavour. These eschalots are caramelised to enhance their natural sweetness and to provide a subtle, elegant touch to the starter.

Baked Onion Soup
Gruyere & Swiss Melt: The soup is topped with a generous layer of melted Gruyere and Swiss cheese, adding a creamy, nutty flavour that perfectly complements the sweetness of the caramelised onions.
Sour Dough Crout: To complete the dish, the soup is served with a crispy sourdough crouton. The crouton adds a delightful crunch and a slight tang, balancing the richness of the melted cheese and the savoury depth of the onion soup.
