Isle of Wight Tomatoes

British grown tomatoes from the Isle of Wight are officially back in season. 

Grown using a mix of carefully selected heritage seed varieties, they’re chosen for flavour over uniformity, meaning tomatoes with real depth, sweetness, and character.

Based in Athens, they source rare, high-quality herbs and spices directly from small farmers, with a focus on terroir and sustainability.

A very warm welcome to the New Year. We hope you’ve had a restful holiday season and are embracing the slower pace that January brings. Like many, this time of year gives us a little more space to look ahead, reflect, and gently kick-start what’s to come. We have some exciting plans for our catering offering, and something in the works for our café too. All to be revealed in good time.

For now, we have Burns Night to look forward to this weekend, with specials arriving soon across both our deli and café menus. Our pastry team has also begun the year in stellar form, introducing a range of new bakes, from mini banana cream pies to a seasonal olive oil cake infused with rosemary and grapefruit.

New Café Menus

A new year means a refresh of our cafe menu, featuring a selection of new dishes, alongside some familiar favourites. 

Breakfast 
Porridge with almond butter, toasted almonds & raspberry compote 
Hash brown, smoked salmon, poached eggs and dill crème fraîche

Lunch
Fish fingers sandwich - Breadcrumbed Coley, tartare, lettuce & dill pickle

Big Veg Energy Sandwich Collab

In celebration of Veganuary, we couldn't think of a more deserving sandwich to make a return to our deli take-away menu. 

Spiced butternut squash, hispi cabbage, date & pistachio slaw, tahini pomegranate sauce

Inspired by a recipe from Christina Soteriou's plant-based cookbook, Big Veg Energy (also available at the deli), this sandwich is a vibrant ensemble of flavours and textures, between two fluffy slices of focaccia.
