The Kitchen

Cooking rooted in the Suffolk seasons.

Our menus change with the season and the day's catch — à la carte, a seven-course tasting menu, and a set lunch, all built from the best local, sustainable produce.

Head Chef Sam Clover and his team work with nearby farms, day-boat fish and game, and cook dedicated vegetarian and vegan menus too.

A Michelin Bib Gourmand, quietly earned.

Recognised by Michelin and awarded two AA Rosettes — but worn lightly. Just careful cooking, generous hospitality, and a deep respect for Suffolk's growers and the turning of the year.
