Introducing our café’s new summer menu 👀

Produced in-house by our fantastic team of chefs, our food celebrates British seasonal ingredients and produce through sustainable menus.

Our seasonal highlight this month is Wye Valley Asparagus, grown by the fourth-generation Chinn family on their farm near Ross-on-Wye in Herefordshire and prized by chefs for its tender spears and unbeatable freshness. We pair it with our brown butter hollandaise, kale potato cakes, poached eggs and lemon-dressed watercress.

Are you a teacher looking for accessible and creative ways to introduce textiles into the classroom?

Taking inspiration from our current exhibition, Mrinalini Mukherjee: Unbound Forms - Women Sculptors of India and Bangladesh, June’s Teacher CPD session focuses on transforming textile materials into soft sculptural forms through cutting, wrapping and manipulating with wire.

Facilitated by artist Harriet Fletcher, the free session will explore accessible and creative ways to introduce textiles into the classroom and how to adapt these ideas for a range of ages and settings.
