Menus

Each day, before midday we upload the days menus, its always nice to whet your appetite before you even get to us.

Sunday Menu

Print a copy of this menu

Where certain allergens are highlighted the allergen may relate to just one component of the dish, which may easily be substituted or removed. For more information please ask one of our crew.

We always advise you to mention any food allergies or intolerances when ordering. We are happy to provide allergy guidelines to support you in making your own menu choice; however, we cannot recommend or tell you what is suitable for you to eat or drink.

Allergies, Intolerances and Dietary Requirements - We actively manage the main fourteen allergens recognised by the Food Standards Agency (see below) but are unable to give information on allergens outside of this. We will, of course, do what we can to accommodate requests outside these fourteen, but these will be put through to the kitchen as a ‘request’ not an allergy order.

Cross Contamination - Our food is prepared in areas where cross contamination may also occur. This means that we can never guarantee a dish is completely free from any allergens or specific ingredients. We declare allergens if they are intentionally added to a product. Where our suppliers have indicated possible cross contamination risks, we also declare their allergen ‘may contain’ risks. If the food is served in its packaging, we advise you to refer to the manufacturer’s label. If you are concerned about possible allergen cross contamination of the food you wish to consume, please ask us for further information on our cooking methods and policies.

Gluten Free - Where we offer gluten free dishes, controls are in place to ensure that dishes contain no more than 20 parts per million gluten; however, as we handle many allergens in our busy kitchens, we therefore cannot guarantee all traces of allergens are completely removed.

Book online

Use the calendar to book a table.

If your plans change so you can no longer make it, please give us a call or use the link in your confirmation email to cancel your table.

Feel free to just call down

We don't book out all our tables, saving some for 'walk-ins', and sometimes those with bookings prefer to sit outside. So if the time you're after isn't available, and you potentially don't mind a wait, feel free to just call down. We'll either have a spot for you or will be running a waiting list.

Outside tables aren't able to be reserved

For those still preferring to eat alfresco, outside tables are on a first come first served basis.

Car Parking

Parking at the pub is extremely limited and fills up very quickly, but we have plenty of parking close by. Parking at the Architect is free for patrons of the pub but please ensure your registration is recorded at the bar upon arrival. Customers are entitled to 3-hours free parking and full T&C's are displayed in the car park.
