Cafe Murano

Keeping things seasonal, dessert will be Buttermilk panna cotta with poached Yorkshire rhubarb.

Swaledale

For the keen home cook, what better way to celebrate than with a delivery of the very best meat, straight from the Yorkshire Dales. For instance, their Ribeye steaks from native breed, grass fed cows are deeply flavoured thanks to the natural diet and the way they are left to mature at their own pace. This is coupled with expert butchery. Similarly Swaledale’s breakfast boxes will contain their sausages and bacon from free range, traditional heritage breeds to ensure optimum flavour.

The Silver Birch

Head Chef Kimberley Hernandez has put together a beautifully curated menu for locals this Valentine’s Day. With the option to choose from fish or meat, both menus will commence with a savoury doughnut to start - either Devon crab, pink lady apple and fine herbs or Bacon jam, cheddar and chive cream; followed by a Chicory salad and then the choice of Confit lemon sole with green goddess sauce or Sherry braised Iberico cheeks, pickled pearl onions and butter beans with seasonal sides. Black Forest Profiteroles complete the feast.
