Pretty sure our new ‘Pearl Barley & Beetroot Risotto’ could tempt anyone to ‘Mix it Up’ for national vegetarian week.

Created to avoid waste, no waste beacuse of great taste.

Reducing food waste is not a compromise for us; on the contrary, it fosters creativity. Our menus are inspired by utilising excess produce and making use of every part of an individual ingredient.

Burrata & heirloom tomato, micro cress, tomato crisp, pesto

Burrata was invented back in the 1920's to use mozzarella scraps, curds, and cream to avoid food waste. For this dish we use excess tomatoes (from breakfast service), including the stems which are dried to provide a delicious and decorative part of this dish.

South Bank is scorching and it’s set to stay all week. For those stuck in the office, round up the team and pop by our Back Yard for some afterwork sunshine and refreshing cocktails.

Our creative spin on a burger
