FOOD & DRINK

We are a traditional 16th Centruy pub serving the very untraditional. We serve Italian Small Plates, some of the best Italian food you’ll find locally. Similar to tapas, we would suggest that you order 2 to 3 dishes each, a bit at a time or lots to share and the dishes will arrive when they’re ready.

Expect to see seasonal Italian & West-country ingredients used, with a minimum of fuss, to make our authentic, occasionally quirky, Italian home-made dishes. All our pasta, bread & sauces are made in house on a daily basis. It also provides an unparalleled experience for those who have dietary requirements with numerous options for vegetarians, plant-based diets & coeliacs. Please click here to see our current menu.

We do do the traditional drinks, pouring classic pub tipples of real ales, lagers, ciders, spirits & soft drinks. However, once again, we take our drinks to a whole new level with over 60 Italian wines by the glass & a huge selection of Italian themed cocktails. Click for our drinks list.

'Rapido' Lunch for Two - £14.00pp

We also offer our 'Rapido' lunch for two for £14.00 per person from Tuesday to Friday - this menu shows off our style of food at its best for a quick lunch while still offering unmatched value for money. For a little extra indulgence on the 'Rapido' menu you can add dessert and / or a drink at a much discounted price.

Party of 8 or More

For all parties of 8 or more we require a pre-order at least 3 days before. Our party menus are updated each month and can be found on the right of this page (or below on a smartphone). There is no need for each person to order individually, the head of the party simply needs to pick which one of the three menus the entire party would like, confirm how many people will be eating and let us know of any dietary requirements and we will provide you with all the dishes listed on the chosen menu. The menus are priced at £18.50pp, £22.50pp and £26.50pp with each menu progressively offering more dishes, more variety, more indulgence and more value for money - desserts are £6.00 extra for those that want one. On Friday evenings and all day on Saturdays, only the 2 most indulgent menus are available. A 10% discretionary service charge is added to all tables, which is entirely split between the team who looked after you on the day.

"We ate as a group and were entranced by the Italian tapas type meal. The wonderfully tasty different course arrived steadily over the meal, providing almost a taster menu without the taster menu price. Staff were lovely and helpful. As well as the wonderful food this is a pub with a good range of beers. Thoroughly recommend."

Dietary Requirements

"Love the concept of small sharing plates and every dish delivered. My stand-out was the Dorset lamb with polenta - meltingly flavourful meat with buttery, truffled polenta - a bowl of that on front of the fire would make me very happy. But in fact there was not one dud dish in the ten we ordered. Very impressed and am looking forward to a return visit. Thank you."
