Seasonal local choice

The menu at Joseph Benjamin offers an interesting and diverse choice of dishes that change completely at least once each month. These dishes, usually four starters and four main courses, are inspired by the seasons and local availability of produce. We are proud to collaborate with fantastic local suppliers and it is through constant dialogue with these experts that menu items evolve.

Menu items tend to show a balance of traditional, classical cuisine, old-fashioned preparations and some inspirational, occasionally unconventional flavour / texture pairings.

Presentation is careful and considered but not fancy and fussy. Round white plates only - no novelty crockery here!

Alongside the main menu we have also added a few new items. Some of these are more ‘lunchy’, like our sandwiches (served on fresh, warm ciabatta) and some are the type of dishes that you can order within 30 seconds of getting hold of the menu. Food that, at that moment is just exactly what you wanted without realising it - we call them ‘Joseph Benjamin Staples’ -  dishes such as ½ Rotisserie Chicken & Chips and Sausages with Champ and white onion & cider sauce are perennials and sit happily and contentedly under the ‘comfort food’ banner.
