Smoked Peach Cachaca
Using gently BBQ’d smoked peaches, we’ve infused this into our own Brazilian cachaca, a sweet sugar cane spirit. This smokey delight is then shaken with fresh lime and a touch of sugar. Glass in hand it’s the perfect summery twist on a classic! 🍹

Our oyster mushroom harvests are in full swing! Used in our Homegrown Oyster Mushroom dish, they have been slowly cooked in smoked chicken fat, paired with delicious sea kelp custard, and roasted chicken sauce. Topped with black truffle, and a garden-fresh sprinkle of cresses!

Something special and bubbly with our Forest Spritz! Using blackcurrant leaves from the grounds and fermented for 24 hours to add that fizzy splash -Jordan, our restaurant manager’s Blackcurrant Leaf 'Champagne'. Paired with Blackcurrant Leaf Liqueur and topped up with soda water
