Elegance and sophistication are two words that perhaps best describe this friendly Nottingham restaurant. Located on the outskirts of the city, it offers warmth and tranquility to family events and stylishness to friendly gatherings.

The contemporary interior has been done up in soothing shades of cream and French beige, and wooden floors give the dining area a wonderful touch of class. The food, like the ambience, is modern and menus that are governed by the seasons offer a range of British dishes to guests.

Starters of seared king scallops with lightly curried cauliflower puree, pineapple relish, and coconut foam, and duck and sweet corn pâté with toast and apple walnut chutney give a good indication of the events to follow. If you prefer meat then order the pan-roasted chicken fillet wrapped in forest ham with chicken jus; fish lovers could go for the pan-fried sea trout with potato fondant and sauce vierge. A dessert of warm oat treacle tart with raspberry jam ice cream helps end proceedings.

Crème is available for hire for private dinners and weddings.
