This January the deal is three courses at lunch time for £20 or two in the evening for £20. Our choice would include a starter of curried potato velouté, followed by either the chicken and tarragon Wellington, or the pan-roasted cod, with the dark chocolate delicé and salted caramel ice cream to finish.
