We have a beautiful, unique space in our back garden with enough room to serve you safely, and we want to make use of it as late into the season as we can.

We will be offering a similar menu to the Bonfire Dinners for $65/person - hearty and comforting. Dietary restrictions can be accommodated with advance notice.
