A Note on our Menus
All of our menus are prepared in-house by our in-house chef team! Everything is baked and made fresh from our bread, cakes, cookies and desserts and we pickle, cure, roast and toast the finest ingredients from Sheffield and Yorkshire.
We work 100% seasonally so sometimes we will need to change ingredients out for what is best and fresh - we’ll let you know if we need to tweak your chosen menu ahead of your event. We can cater for all dietary requirements - just let us know and we’ll make it happen!
We’ve carefully curated a delicious wine, beer and cocktail line up that matches our menus and makes life super easy for you. Our drinks are beautifully chosen from boutique merchants and specialists doing great stuff in small batches. Below you'll find our Festive Punch Bowls and indulgent Christmas Cocktail specials!
Simply pre-order with us when you confirm your final numbers.
Hire of The Chimney House is included in the menu prices, which shows price per head.

When compiling this information please ensure your guests provide accurate information about their dietary needs. We need to know whether it is a severe allergy, a medical requirement or a preference so that we can make suitable adjustments. We may not provide a similar alternative where it is a preference, unless this can be catered for within the menu (see 'Plain Food' below). We will presume any dietary information given is correct and take it at face value.

CROWD PLEASERS

WHITE // No Es Pituko Viognier / 100% Viognier / Vegan/ Organic/ 13%/ Chile
No es Pituko translates as 'It ain't fancy' a reference to the fact that this wine is naturally produced with very little intervention by a small family run winery dating back to 1930. The wine is slightly cloudy as it is unfiltered but has piles of peach & tropical fruit balanced with a nutty richness. Really complex & intriguing! Low intervention, unfiltered. A Mowbray Favourite!
