Winter calls for something a little indulgent. Enter: the lamb cutlet en crépinette.

Chef Chris wraps it in a delicate veil, sears it till it crackles, then rests it next to couscous, merguez, and a zucchini relish that keeps things bright. Harissa jus finishes it and your new favourite dish reveals itself.

Book a table and let the cold weather work in your favour.

He doesn’t want another mug. He wants our Sunday roast. đŸ·

This Father’s Day, skip the socks-and-tie routine, bring him to the table instead. Think slow-roasted rotisserie, a glass (or three) of something French, and zero dishes for him to do after.

Book now, because good sons and daughters plan ahead. đŸ‡«đŸ‡·
