BOARDS.
SUSSEX CHEESE
Our new cheese board is a journey through one producer of, arguabley the best goats cheese in the country.
White lake’s Somerset goats cheese has won awards, year on year. The journey starts with the youngest,
the English Goats Curd, a light and creamy with a lemony flavour. Second is Eve, washed in cider brandy
and wrapped in a vine leaf. Third is Driftwood, a firm, ash coated with a silky texture, full bodied with age
and finally Kathrine, a strong and fruity semi-hard and also washed in cider brandy. This experience is
perfectly paired with a glass of our white rioja or vin santo. (V)
MAINS.
BEEF SHIN TAGLIATELLE RAGU £22
Our ragu is cooked over 12 hours. The first day we cook the beef shin for
8 hours with the bone. The bone marrow melts into the sugo and develops the flavour.
We then leave it to rest over night whilst making a stock with the bones to be
re-introduced back into the ragu. The tagliatelle is made fresh every morning. E,C,GC(GF)
