Relax and enjoy our latest seasonal menu and daily specials in the traditional comfort of our Lounge Bar, which features a beautifully carved fireplace from a Dutch galleon ship. This offers a more relaxed and family-friendly alternative to our Beat 4 restaurant, with the same high quality, locally-sourced ingredients and excellent service. It’s a welcome retreat from the crisp outdoors in autumn and winter with its roaring fire and cosy booth seating. Spread over a couple of levels, you can find the perfect spot in which to enjoy your meal.
