This menu takes you on a journey from the Middle East to the Mediterranean, starting with some traditional mezze, before moving onto a fusion dish of "savoury spice" braised chicken, finishing with the traditional Italian dessert "sporcamuss".
If you have any dietary requirements I am happy to substitute dishes from the existing menu.

Sporacmuss (translates to "get dirty your mouth"!) is a traditional southern Italian dish from the city of Bari in Puglia. Eaten straight from the oven, this combination of puff pastry and crème pâtissière is a dish you won't forget!
