Coastal kitchen & dining room

Cooked over fire, close to the water

A short menu that changes with the catch, eighteen tables, and one long counter facing the flame.

Dinner

Wednesday to Sunday, first sitting at five, last at nine.

Long lunch

Saturday and Sunday, one seating at midday, four courses.

The counter

Eight seats held back each service for walk-ins, from opening.

The kitchen

We write the menu after the boats come in

Nothing is decided far ahead. What lands in the morning sets the shape of the evening, and the rest fills in from the growers who bring crates to the back door. Most dishes touch the fire once and reach the table plainly dressed — good salt, good oil, a squeeze of something sharp.

  • Daily catch

    Whole fish are broken down in house each morning; the board is rewritten by four.

  • Open fire

    One hearth, hardwood only. Heat does most of the seasoning before anything else does.

  • Growers nearby

    Vegetables, herbs and stone fruit come from a short list of nearby smallholdings.

The room

Small, loud in the good way, easy to sit in

One room, timber tables, and a counter where you can watch the fire do its work. It suits couples, small groups and anyone happy to eat where the kitchen can hear the room.

  • Eighteen tables plus eight counter seats, all on one level.
  • The long table at the back seats ten for a shared menu.
  • The whole room can be taken for an evening on Wednesdays.
