The mains stand out as hearty, comforting classics. The Homemade Beef Lasagne comes layered with rich, slow-cooked meat sauce and creamy béchamel, offering that nostalgic baked warmth with every forkful. For those seeking a bit of spice, the Homemade Beef or Vegan Chilli delivers a bold, smoky depth, with the vegan version holding its own as a robust, plant-based option. The 10oz Rump Steak, cooked to order, is a simple yet indulgent choice, served tender and full of flavor for steak lovers.
Moving to burgers, the Black Dog Special feels like the house pride - stacked generously and packed with flavor, it’s the kind of burger that demands both hands. The Smokehouse Burger, with its layers of smoky richness, appeals to anyone who craves bold barbecue notes. For something a little different, the Venison Burger offers a leaner but deeply savory bite, an excellent option for diners wanting something beyond the usual beef.
The pie selection leans into pure comfort. The Homemade Fish Pie is creamy, brimming with tender fish and topped with buttery mash, while the Homemade Cottage Pie brings that classic beef-and-potato harmony. Alongside them, a rotating variety of Handmade Pies means there’s always something seasonal or surprising to discover, each crafted with a flaky crust and hearty fillings.
