Cooked today, eaten tonight

Name: Hearth & Vine
Address: 12 Example Street, Anytown
Telephone: +1 555 010 0154

A short menu that changes with what the market has, a room worth sitting in, and a table for you if you ring ahead.

What to expect

01A short menu
Fewer dishes, cooked to order, changed when the season changes.
02Bought nearby
What can be got locally is, and the rest is chosen carefully.
03Allergens taken seriously
Tell us when you book and again when you sit down. We will tell you plainly what cannot be changed.
04Walk in or book
Bookings hold your table for fifteen minutes; walk-ins get whatever is free.

Starters
Small plates for the table, made to be shared while everybody arrives.
Soups and salads
What is in season, dressed here, not out of a tub.
From the grill
The dishes we are known for, cooked over fire and served without fuss.
Mains
The two or three that are always on, because people would riot otherwise.
Vegetarian
Proper dishes in their own right, not the meat one with the meat taken out.
Sides
Chips, bread, greens and the things that get ordered for the middle of the table.
Children's plates
Smaller portions of the same food, at a smaller price.
Puddings
Made here, few, and worth leaving room for.
Wine and drinks
A short list chosen to go with the food, with something good by the glass.
Set lunch
Two or three courses at a fixed price, served on weekdays until three.
Sunday lunch
Longer and slower, from midday until the afternoon gives up.
Takeaway
Most of the menu travels. Ring ahead and we will have it ready.

What it looks like when the lights are on and the plates are going out.

The best meal we have had all year, and we ate a great many meals this year. Book further ahead than you think.

Ring and we will find you a table, or tell you honestly when to come instead.
