• Starters

      Starters can either be served individually to the table or alternatively we find our ‘Bring me food’ style is a wonderful way to break the ice and for guests to relax, chat and really enjoy themselves. For this we suggest that you choose a choice of two starters from our selection below which will be brought to the table on oyster stands and guests will help themselves. ‘Bring Me Food’ Selection – choose one dish from each section
