There are three certainties in this life: death, taxes, and the Cartford as your favourite Sunday roast destination (a place where you can also forget the first two certainties). See what’s on the menu this week…
Mother’s Day is approaching, and mum may insist she doesn’t want a fuss. She does. This is not up for debate. Luckily, we’ve made things easy. Just bring her to The Cartford, and we’ll handle the rest. We’re open from 12-6pm.
This spring, we’re thrilled to host an intimate evening with one of Europe’s leading flamenco guitarists, Samuel Moore. It’s a night that’s all about the music. A private, immersive concert in our River House, where you’ll dive into the world of flamenco guitar.
Our new Spring menu is here— a celebration of warmer days and the flavours of the season. And since we’re embracing all things fresh, we’ve got a new jazz duo to match. Acclaimed guitarist John Bailey—who’s played with Russell Watson, Aled Jones, and even Sting—joins legendary bassist Gary Culshaw for an evening of jazz standards and beyond.
The nights are getting lighter, and so is the mood—what better excuse to bring back some proper Cartford classics? Join us this Friday for golden, crispy fish, perfect chips, and, for those who know what’s good, our steamed suet pudding with the full works—mushy peas, chips, and gravy.
Join us at the Inn for a delicious celebration of British Pie Week from Wednesday 5th March to Saturday 8th March! We’re serving up hearty, hand-crafted pies packed with local flavours.
Tacos, cocktails, and a soundtrack that keeps things lively. Join us for a night of bold flavours and big tunes with Misty Reprise bringing their mix of swing, rock ‘n’ roll, and rockabilly to The Cartford.
Burger night is back! Expect our classic American-style double cheeseburger—juicy, stacked, and unapologetically indulgent. And if you’re feeling fancy, top it off with garlic and chilli king prawns for the ultimate surf ‘n’ turf twist.
Romance isn’t dead, and neither is good taste. Whether you’re after a candlelit dinner, a long lazy lunch, or an afternoon of refined indulgence, we’ve got a few ways to celebrate. But be warned—spaces are disappearing fast.
Moules frites are back on the specials list—just as they should be. Pair that with live jazz from the brilliant Will Lewis, and you've got yourself a Friday night worth leaving the house for.
When it comes to crowd-pleasers, steak frites is always a sure thing. It’s something we’ve mastered over the years (our French roots might have something to do with that), and a night we love hosting.
Join us for a Burns Night celebration that promises a truly Scottish experience. Expect a specials list imbued with Scottish culinary tradition.
Join us for the perfect prelude to Burns Night. Expect a specials list packed with Scottish culinary tradition.
Our ribs have quite the reputation – slow-braised until meltingly tender, drenched in our signature sticky-sweet BBQ sauce, and always devoured in record time (and probably with a few extra napkins). Join us for a night of true food debauchery…
Our Mid-Week Menu is back! This winter, you can enjoy a classic Cartford dining experience for just £27. It’s almost too good to be true, really. See the menu…
