From Christmas parties, tasty tapas nights and super secret menus, we host and chef a number of special events throughout the year. On Monday evenings you’ll find our ‘Proper Pop-up’ at The Highwayman Inn in Checkendon.

  • The crispy fried chicken was absolutely delicious. Crispy coating, tender chicken, fluffy rice and condiments were a decent sized portion – absolutely stuffed! But still squeezed in the rum and raisin brownie. OMG, another level!
