Looking for something smaller? Or a plate to share with friends? Then have a look at our range of sharing options.

All of our sharing plates are designed to be picked up, pulled apart and sunk into with glee. 

We have trios of strong, rich and pungent cheeses, with crackers, berries and house made relish that pair amazingly with our Red Wines.
