Launching the week commencing 7th April, this new offering is perfect for catching up with friends, indulging in a midweek treat, or simply enjoying a relaxed dining experience. All the much-loved gastropubs including The Black Swan in Cobham, The Magpie in Sunbury on Thames and The Fox & Finch in Godalming will be celebrating the launch.
A Taste of the Prix-Fixe Menu
Begin your meal with a selection of enticing starters, including spicy whitebait with tartare sauce, the classic pork pie, or roast beets with labneh, wild garlic & lovage pesto, and smoked almonds—a perfect option for vegetarians.
For mains, indulge in the colourful king prawn linguine, tossed with chilli, tomato, and garlic, or savour the comforting chicken chasseur, served with roast garlic mash and cavolo nero. For vegetarians, the fried mushroom Ve-de-ya pizza fritti is a wonderful choice, and is topped withsuperstraccia and basil pesto for a rich, indulgent twist.
Round off your meal with a delicious dessert, whether it’s the peach melba crumble, the double chocolate and banana brownie paired with banana split ice cream, or the silky coffee panna cotta, drizzled with orange syrup and candied pecans.
A Fresh Take on Spring Dining
The Spring Menu also offers more to explore, from starters like the tomato and mozzarella gnocchi to hoisin mushroom spring rolls. Or if you’d prefer to share, then opt for the buttermilk fried chicken with Korean BBQ sauce or the baked Camembert with roast garlic, rosemary, hot honey, and sourdough - perfect alongside drinks! For a burst of colour, the heritage tomato panzanella is a vibrant main course, served alongside burrata, rose harissa, and roasted garlic croutons.
While the seasonal menu brings exciting new dishes, beloved pub classics also firmly remain on the menu. Guests can still enjoy favourites like fish and chips, the dry-aged double cheeseburger, and the pie of the day—ensuring there’s something for everyone.
