To finish indulge in a range of scrumptious homemade puds; a sinful hot chocolate fondant with raspberry cream, lemon posset and cinnamon shortbread, glazed apple tart with vanilla custard or Jude’s ice cream with toasted almonds and toffee sauce Lunches are available as either two courses at £21.50 or three courses at £25.95.
