James & Jake work seamlessly together in the kitchen, crafting dishes that tell a real story of terroir and provenance with many ingredients foraged by hand. Inspired by Michelin-level cooking, we created La Palombe to blend that calibre of food with the warmth and friendliness of a neighbourhood brasserie.

Step through our doors and discover a space that feels both intimate and elegant. Lime-washed walls, chequered flooring, and the soft glow of open flames set a warm ambiance. At the room’s centre, a wood-fired grill and rotisserie add theatre and flavour. As a result, your outing becomes both immersive and relaxed.
Above all, we celebrate seasonality. Hence, our menu changes frequently to reflect the freshest ingredients—many sourced from trusted suppliers, and others foraged by our team. For instance, truffles from Wiltshire, unearthed by Alba, our resident truffle dog, contribute a rich character to several dishes. These thoughtful touches underscore our commitment to honest, ingredient-led cooking.
The menu elegantly balances rustic charm with refined technique. Expect dishes such as wild venison with pepper sauce, confit duck with celeriac remoulade, or hand-dived scallops grilled to smoky perfection. In addition, the celebrated Pigeon Pithivier—layered with chicken mousse, duck liver, and wood pigeon wrapped in spinach and puff pastry—is a showcase of our kitchen’s precision and depth. Vegetarians are well catered for too, with inventive vegetable dishes that are just as thoughtful. Because every guest deserves top-quality care, we’re always happy to accommodate dietary preferences.
Service at La Palombe is knowledgeable yet relaxed, prioritising genuine hospitality over formality. Guests are encouraged to unwind and savour each moment, without concern. Meanwhile, our wine list reflects our ethos—featuring selections from small, biodynamic producers with distinct character. Moreover, pairing advice is available on request to elevate your experience even further.
Despite our standards, we’ve kept pricing accessible—since James and Jake believe excellence should feel inclusive, not exclusive. Consequently, you can enjoy fine dining quality without fine dining pretension or cost. Therefore, La Palombe stands out as a rare gem: both local and ambitious, with world-class cooking at its heart.
