Daniel and his team are looking forward to welcoming you.
Our menus celebrate the season’s freshest ingredients, including Chalk stream trout, West country beef and Hertfordshire game. Each dish is carefully crafted with locally sourced produce, from our famous Venison Wellington to the pistachio chocolate fondant we have something for everyone.
We are buzzing to introduce you to the White Bears Bees. Honeybees are essential to the UK’s domestic food production. British fruit and vegetables and our meat and dairy industries all depend on bee pollination. This is why we have made the decision to re-activate the hives in our garden. We are passionate about the welfare of bees and are so pleased we can take this step towards sustainably produced honey.
We are talking plates piled high with succulent meats, vibrant vegetables, golden roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings risen to perfection, and an abundance of rich, velvety gravy. For those who can’t resist a bit on the side enjoy creamy cauliflower cheese and delightful pigs in blankets. And to add a spicy twist to your Sunday, don’t miss our perfectly crafted Bloody Marys.
