At The Picture House we go out of our way to find the best ingredients and will always make space on our menus for locally-sourced, seasonal and organic specialities.
The menus are complemented by the well stocked bar with an eclectic mix of cocktails, and a fine range of spirits. The knowledgeable bar staff will be happy to recommend something you are guaranteed to want to sample again – and again! There is also a wide range of New World wines, hinting at owner Nick Armitages’ New Zealand connections.
The Picture House has positioned itself comfortably between café, bar and restaurant where customers can enjoy a luxurious three course meal or happily whittle away the hours over cream teas or a drink with friends.
Additional Comments:
Impeccable taste and incredibly high standards mark the work of owner and head chef Nick Armitage and his creative influence is on every dish offered at The Picture House. The menu changes daily depending on what local products are fresh and Nick's culinary inclination.
The a la carte menu has featured such delights as ballotine of foie gras with quince and toasted brioche, rack of Somerset lamb with truffled pea puree and mint beurre blanc and vanilla bean ice cream served Spanish-style with pedro ximenez sherry.
The restaurant’s tapas menu allows diners to enjoy a large range of different foods, each served in small portions so a greater variety can be sampled. Some of the most popular include griddled fresh water king prawns with chilli, rock salt and garlic, roast peppers with goats cheese and Bush farm bison with chips and peppercorn sauce.
Diners can enjoy a late night dessert, such as a fresh fruit syllabub or our amazing raspberry brulee, over an espresso or a glass of port.
Everything is home made in our kitchens, right down to the warm butterscotch sauce drizzled over our apple tart.
