The restaurant serves high quality ingredients from around the British Isles with a focus on pasta. Seasonal produce such as Shrimps from Morecambe Bay, Grouse from Yorkshire, Langoustine from Scotland and cheeses from across the country. It is food that observes the established traditions of Italian cooking, but breaks the rules a little.
