The Copper Table
Reserve a table
A candlelit table at night: a seared steak with asparagus and squash purée on a dark plate, a glass of red wine, a candle in a cut-glass holder and brass cutlery on an aubergine napkin, with warm lights out of focus behind.

Fire-led cooking · Old Town

Dinner, by firelight.

Seasonal plates cooked over English oak and finished in copper. An evening that takes its time, from the first glass to the last ember.

The restaurant

Few ingredients. One fire. Plenty of time.

We cook almost everything over a single oak-fired hearth, then finish it in copper pans that have been in service longer than we have.

The menu changes with what the fishing boats and the farms bring in. The dining room is low-lit and unhurried. We seat each table once a night, so it’s yours for the evening.

The room

Low light, long tables

Forty-eight seats, a counter facing the fire and a cellar room downstairs. Select an image to look closer.

  • The dining room at night: round tables laid with cream cloths and candles beneath copper pendant lamps, aubergine walls and a lit archway at the far end.
  • An amber cocktail in a coupe glass with an orange twist on a dark marble bar top, with candles and warm bar lights out of focus behind.
  • A sourdough loaf and cut slices on a dark wooden board, with a quenelle of butter and flakes of sea salt on a small slate.
  • The chef's counter at night: place settings along a polished counter, a finished plate on the pass, and chefs at work in the open kitchen under copper lamps.
  • Beetroot with their leaves, shallots and thyme on a dark wooden board, beside a copper dish of flaky sea salt.
