Menus

“After a good dinner one can forgive anybody, even one’s own relatives.”  

Oscar Wilde, a 19th-century diner

Food is central to The Blind Bull. So getting the best possible ingredients from our local, independent butchers, fishmongers and grocers is our first priority. When we can’t harvest straight from our garden, we aim to source 80% of our ingredients from within 10 miles of your plate. And you can be certain that our seasonally grown produce has been chosen with care and prepared with love. See the respect we have to our food in our sample menus below, from lunch and dinner to Sunday roasts, but it’s best if you taste it.

Please note, all of our menus are sample menus as all our ingredients are local and seasonal.
