According to Sean Granger (General Manager): \u201cIt is important for us to constantly keep updating our menu for every new season. As soon as we release a new menu, we get straight back into preparing for the next season. Our Culinary Artist sketches, tries out and tests dishes in order to ensure the bar is set higher each time, so that every menu is top class and becomes an experience for every guest that dines with us.\u201d<\/p>\n
