On 12^th February 2011, you and your partner can enjoy a set gourmet dinner ideal to get you in the mood for a romantic week together. The food is locally sourced, exceptionally presented and cooked to perfection.

For your convenience there is the option of two sitting; the Early sitting priced at £35 per person and the Late sitting priced at £45 per person.

If you are seduced by the early sitting, you can enjoy the succulent Monkfish and lemon salad to start; a light dish complete with slow roast tomatoes, tomato essence and avruga caviar.
