Classic pizza dishes such as Egg Florentine and The Parma will change on a frequent basis, alongside soup of the day like chilled cucumber soup with summer herb creme fraiche.
On Sundays, the brasseries will serve a range of traditional roasts including chicken, beef sirloin and lamb, all featuring Yorkshire pudding, wine jus and seasonal vegetables, roast potatoes plus cauliflower gratin.
