SCRATCH MENU

The Scratch menu is served from Tuesday to Saturday between 5.30pm and 6.15pm and is limited to 30 guests per evening.

From January 2025, Scratch is evolving. Our new Scratch menu will begin with a small bite to complement the three courses that follow. This addition reflects our continued focus on creativity and sustainability, transforming surplus ingredients into an even more special dining experience. The price of the new Scratch menu will be £40, a change driven by increasing costs. We have taken great care to keep the menu as accessible as possible, staying true to the original spirit of Scratch—to provide a delicious, nutritious meal using ingredients that are often overlooked for a fair and reasonable price. We deeply value your continued support and look forward to welcoming you in the new year.

Essentially the dishes are created using ‘Waste’ produce – 40 percent of all fruit and vegetables grown in this country are discarded before ever reaching a shop shelf because they are considered ugly, misshapen, too big, too small or simply have the odd hole here and there. Through the Scratch menu we want to draw attention to the fact that this produce, despite its appearance is still truly delicious and that Food Waste is an important issue (1/3 of all food grown or manufactured in the world is thrown out – that is enough to feed 870 million people!)   The menu is not designed to be fancy or complicated, rather think organic ingredients such as beetroot tops and potato skins turned into simple soups, the trimmings from our house made pasta baked with a little leftover cheese or yesterday’s bread transformed into warm bread pudding served with a spoonful of last year’s Fern Verrow gooseberry jam.

We use what we have to hand and because of this we cannot alter the evening’s offering to accommodate dietary requirements.

We hope you enjoy eating it as much as we enjoy creating it for you.
