A Thank You From Judith
“Thank you so much to everyone who generously donated to my Marsden March last month. You helped me raise an incredible £1795 for a really good cause. The day itself was wonderful, filled with tears and laughter – although the last mile did feel like the longest mile ever! It was an honour and a privilege to be able to walk in memory of my niece Olivia.”
Judith’s fundraising page is still open so if you would like to add a donation, please visit the link below.
Gift Vouchers for Father's Day
A timely reminder that Father’s Day is this Sunday 15th June. If you’d been thinking to arrange a gift voucher with us, there is still time! Please call or email us at the restaurant before Friday this week – or for a small admin fee, e-vouchers can be arranged online via our website.
Our café-patisserie The French Tarte will be open on Father’s Day so you could pick up sweet treats in the morning to satisfy Dad’s sweet tooth or you could go all-out and pre-book an Afternoon Tea for collection to enjoy at home.
New French Beers
We recently welcomed a new line of French beers by Cap D’Ona which have already proved super popular.
Working organically, Cap D’Ona have been awarded a Best Beer award at the ‘World Beer Awards’ for consecutive years since 2021.
The Beers:
Triple Blond - Ultra-floral, round, velvety and very delicate.
IPA Blond - Bitter & aromatic, vegetal and fruity with a delicious bitterness on the finish.
Banyuls Blond - Gluten free Blond Beer with a finely fruity touch, extremely elegant and ultra easy to drink.
Blonde Lemon Ale – Gluten free, Light, delicate, tasty and tangy with a touch of lemon.
June Menu
Chef Richard has added some beautiful new dishes to his menu this month including a starter of Porthilly oysters with tomato and locally-foraged elderflower compôte, and a main course of roast Cumbrian lamb with pea and mint ravioli – already proving to be very popular with guests!
We also have a new Classics Menu, our £39 set menu - available every Lunch as well as Tues/Wed/Thurs Dinner. Our Classics Menu is Chef Richard’s take on popular TFT dishes from the past 2+ decades. Some dishes get a little modern twist, and some remain exactly as they were!
