At its heart is an open kitchen, complemented by a carefully curated menu and a relaxed yet sophisticated ambiance. This is a place that feels both special and familiar – whether you’re sharing plates with friends, savouring a glass of wine at the bar, or settling in for an evening of outstanding food and conversation.

Melville & Sons will unveil its highly anticipated food menu in April, offering a selection of elevated small plates designed to pair perfectly with its expertly curated drinks list. Inspired by global flavours and crafted with the finest local ingredients, the menu is designed for sharing – bringing people together over exceptional food and good company.

The menu has been expertly developed by Roger Hickman, who has meticulously selected suppliers and shaped the vision behind each dish.
