Big, bold, and built to satisfy. Two juicy beef patties grilled to perfection, layered with melted cheese, crisp lettuce, fresh tomato, and tangy pickles. Stacked high in a soft toasted bun and finished with our signature burger sauce, this double cheeseburger is made for those who believe bigger is always better.

Soft, shell-shaped, and just sweet enough—madeleines are more light sponge with crisp golden edges, best eaten warm, with a cup of tea or just savoured on their own.
You can add lemon zest, a splash of vanilla, or leave them plain; perhaps dip in dark chocolate.
Soft florets, blanketed in a thick, bubbling cheese sauce—the kind that catches golden at the edges and feels like home on a fork. It’s a dish that doesn’t need explaining, only eating.
Cauliflower cheese is for days when warmth matters more than elegance. When the oven hums quietly, and you’re happy to wait. The cheese can be sharp or mild, whatever’s in the fridge. A bit of mustard lifts it; breadcrumbs on top if you’ve got them.
Good on its own. Better beside a roast. Best eaten from a deep bowl, with the evening closing in.
A roast chicken that doesn’t mess about. A comforting and familiar dish which is built on honest flavours and proper technique. A whole bird, seasoned with fresh herbs, lemon, and garlic, roasted to get (try and get) a crispy skin and rich, savoury juices. Always a favourite accompanied by roasted roots, some greens and for me stuffing and bread sauce with lashings of gravy.
Nasi Goreng. It sounds fancy but is an Indonesian dish meaning Fried Rice. Its origins are in Indonesia but with heavy Dutch influence. You can look it up for yourselves. It is one my all time favourite dishes and can be made quite quickly with pre-boiled (and cooled) rice, onion, the right combination of spices and then, frankly, anything in the fridge. I particularly like chicken or ham, or bacon, prawns, mushrooms, some greens. It is easy to do and difficult to get wrong unless you are short of time!
You will want to do it again and again. Its even good the following day cold but it rarely gets a chance.
