Special's Boards

We are really lucky to have the opportunity to offer you the freshest fish & shellfish that are brought in daily by the fishermen on our specials board. We have lobsters all year round and plenty of flat fish - obviously supplies are dependent on the weather conditions so unfortunately we cannot guarentee if and when we can get these deliveries! We also put on the boards selected wines of the month & cocktails. Below are samples of our boards to give you an idea of what we do along side our A La Carte menu!

WINE OF THE MONTH

as recommended by the Wine Cellar

Musar Jeune Red 2008, Bekaa Valley, Lebanon 13%

musar-3-bottles-(5).jpg

Musar Jeune is a brand new wine from Chateau Musar. It is an unoaked blend of Cinsault, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon and only available in limited quantities. Musar wines are generally released with a period of bottle age, but this has been released early to make the most of the vivid fruit flavours. Spicy red cherry, ripe plum and raspberry aromas with a hint of musk and white pepper. Lots of juicy, vivid red fruit flavours in the mouth and an attractive freshness and purity, which is particularly evident on the long finish.
