| SPRING AT THE ALMANACK | |
|---|---|
| Here you are, at last. If this last year has taught us anything, it’s that we need our friends and we miss great pubs. So raise a glass to your companions and tuck into the good stuff. More than ever we are sourcing fine British produce, from cheese to fish, alongside free-range pork & chicken and pasture-fed steak. It’s Spring, so look out for wonderful English asparagus and Cornish lamb gracing the specials board. Wow, it’s so good to be back doing our thing - we’ve missed you as much as you’ve missed us. Welcome! |
