Buda Roast Belly & Scallops £15.50
"Whilst roasting myself at the Gellert baths in Budapest, it seemed a good idea to ask the fat man sat to my left for a good place to eat. He told me stories of the 19th Century Austrian Empire's famous marinated and slow-roasted pork belly, topped with sweet mash and scallops. He then told me of a little eatery in Pest that actually still cooked
this roast."

House Viennese £9.50    Vegetarian Option Dish Vegetarian Option »

Venison & Dumpling Stew £12.90

Moroccan Berber Lamb £13.60
"Our Moroccan guide took us deep into the Sahara. Berber people have studied Alchemy here for thousand of years' proclaimed our guide as he skewered marinated lamb on tree branches and cooked them on a open fire. After eating this monumental lamb I think Alchemy is still very much being studied".

"This beautiful blend of coconut, fresh chillies, pressed spices and sticky rice was a pleasant suprise, but the real surprise was having my authentic Thai massage."
Choice of: Prime Chicken Breast, Jumbo Shrimp or the Vegetarian option.

Pollo Loco £14.50
A prime breast, filled with mozzarella, basil leaves and red pesto, roasted and plated with stuffed pepper and potato po poys. So why is this dish called crazy chicken? I guess the answer is as obvious as the question, what came first? The chicken or the egg?

Louisiana Street Food £15.60
Plantain wrapped around saffron prawn Jambalaya taute and topped with salmon & halibut baked weave. Tried this dish in the home town of Satchmo, in his words. I saw prawns so plump and red peppers too and I think to myself what a wonderful world.

Paella Stuffed Squid £14.90
What have Galigangoulous, Giant Squid and our Paella Stuffed Squid have in common? Well, Galigangoulous are small furry, angry animals that eat naughty boy's sweets and live on the roof of our house. Giant squid feature in many fishermen's epic tales and our Stuffed Squid filled with seafood and saffron paella, oven baked in a roasted tomato and wine sauce is one of my favourite dishes. So what do they have in common? They are all legendary!
