The main restaurant is open for both breakfast and dinner, offering diners an array of mouthwatering modern British meals from its à la carte menu. Dishes are made using locally sourced produce. A typical Saturday evening can see the restaurant catering for 100 covers or more, whilst a separate all-day dining menu runs from the bar area, offering guests a selection of lighter meals and snacks.
