The menu revolves around the carvery concept, where guests can select their meat directly from the buffet and then help themselves to a variety of side dishes. They take particular pride in their slow-cooked meats like tender beef or juicy turkey, which are roasted for hours to achieve maximum tenderness and flavor. The sides are a true highlight: the hand-roasted potatoes are carefully prepared for extra crispiness, while the Yorkshire puddings are made fresh, light, and served hot—an absolute must for any roast fan. Vegetarian options, such as a hearty vegetable pie, are also available, enhanced with creative ingredients like pumpkin and almonds. In addition to the carvery, there are breakfast offerings in an "all-you-can-eat" style, featuring classics like sausages and fried eggs.
