The set menu features West Coast whitebait with summer leaves, shredded radish and lemon butter; herb-roasted salmon salad with iceberg lettuce, pickled carrots, toasted seeds and a soy and ginger dressing; New Year chocolate and Baileys surprise; seafood medley of prawns, crumbed mussels, salmon, new potatoes and a light root vegetable Pernod sauce; and to finish, a sorbet with fresh pink gin-marinated strawberries and meringue. Of course there are plenty of fine beer, wine and cocktail options on our drinks menu to complement the sumptuous fare. For those who prefer, non-seafood options are available from our à la carte selection.
