Farm-to-Table Dining
Our farm-to-table approach begins at Corneyside Farm in Northumberland, where we raise Limousin X beef and Texel lamb using traditional methods. These premium meats are dry-aged, expertly butchered, and cooked on our Josper grill to enhance natural flavours. The restaurant's central location in Kings Cross provides easy access while maintaining a connection to rural British agriculture.
