Head Chef Louise McCrimmon's menus use classic techniques and ingredients sourced from around the world, but with an emphasis on using the finest produce from the South West. A typical dinner could open with starters of potato and wild mushroom soup; West Country venison kofta with carrot and mint salad, pomegranate yoghurt and flat bread or crisp polenta with grilled artichoke, goat's cheese, herb salad with sundried tomato dressing.
This could be followed by a main course of braised leg of Guinea fowl with roast fennel, wholegrain mustard and orange sauce; South Coast gurnard with parsley risotto with lemon velouté or seared lamb's liver with celeriac and apple mash, pickled apple and red onion jus.
For a leisurely Sunday brunch the restaurant offers dishes such as Inverawe smoked salmon with scrambled eggs and toasted homemade toasted brioche, buttermilk pancakes with smoked black bacon and maple syrup and Stornoway black pudding with fried egg, roast apple and rosti potato along with your choice of Bloody Mary. Mains include roast rack and slow cooked leg of lamb with sweet potato and Muscat purée, sweet potato fondant and tomato jus as well as seared fillet of Pollock with pomme purée, buttered spinach, oxtail and Bristol beer reduction.
For the finale, consider an unusual sweetcorn mousse paired with bourbon ice cream and salted caramel popcorn or other delicious creations such as blood orange and passion fruit Pavlova, sticky toffee pudding with vanilla Anglaise or lime and ginger pannacotta with roast pineapple. Alternatively, consider a cheese plate with Gorwydd Caerphilly, Bath Soft and Harbourne cheeses served with grapes, homemade oatcakes and Harvey Nichols chutney.
The afternoon tea menu offers an array of savouries and cakes including dry cure smoked back bacon sandwich with slow roast tomatoes, scrambled egg and smoked back bacon with toasted brioche, banana and walnut cake with vanilla mascarpone and Valrhona chocolate and pecan brownie with clotted cream.
A sumptuous cocktail bar, with skilled mixologists in attendance, offers luxurious signature libations of Double B'bellini and Grapefruit Caipirinha as well as a variety of champagnes and wines by the glass.
The Second Floor also boasts an exclusive private dining room, perfect for that special celebration or corporate event. The entire restaurant including the bar is also available for hire individually or as a whole.
