Our inspiration

Our dedication to depth of flavour and culinary excellence sets us apart, with the belief that a meal holds the power to shape someone’s day. As we embark on a journey to enhance your dining experience, we draw inspiration from the remarkable Emily Wilding Davison, affectionately known as ‘Pem’ to her close family.

Pem, a renowned suffragette who fearlessly championed equal rights for women in the UK, embodies the core values we hold dear. Just as she pushed boundaries and pursued her beliefs with unwavering determination, we too strive for the highest standards in our cuisine.  Our commitment to delivering an unforgettable dining experience is matched with our commitment to sourcing homegrown produce and the best seasonal flavours in every dish that graces your table.

Sally’s cooking style is hearty, tasty food that’s intensely focused on flavour, using her gift for capturing classic, nostalgic British dishes that many will remember fondly from their childhoods and subtly modernising them.
