How to order

1

Start with the service that fits the visit

Use the lunch menu for a full English, a baguette or a salad in the daytime, keep Sunday roast in mind for the weekend, and use the full menu when dinner is the plan.

2

Keep familiar pub comfort in play

Pub classics, baguettes, wraps, and roasts keep the menu easy for mixed tables before anyone stretches into the Nepalese side.

3

Use the full menu when the table wants range

That is where the grills, curries, momo, and crowd-pleasers all sit together and make the visit feel stronger than a standard pub stop.

Nepalese kitchen

A Stony Stratford pub with a Nepalese kitchen.

Start with Veg Momo and Chicken Momo, Nepalese dumplings served steamed or chilli. Then try Chicken Rum Rum, cooked with Himalayan herbs and timur, a Nepalese pepper, Himali Lamb with fresh mint and green chilli, or the chargrilled clay oven specialities.

…and Indian favourites like Chicken Tikka, Chicken Korma and Chicken Biryani.
