A new chef is starting work at the Cross Inn with a themed night of food from his native Thailand on Thursday.

Landlord Simon Fancy said: “Tatts wants to show people what he can cook.

“Every month we will have one night a week with a special. Thai nights will run for a month, then steak nights, etc.

“Tatts is a very good chef who can cook Italian, French and other continental dishes so I am sure we won’t short of inspiration for our speciality nights.

“The food we will be serving will all be freshly prepared and cooked on the premises all from local suppliers so I can guarantee the food should go down a storm.”

On offer from 5pm will be a choice of 3 starters, 3 mains and 3 desserts. Two courses are £13.99 and three courses are £14.99.

The regular menu will start on Friday serving 12noon – 3pm, then 5pm – 9pm on weekdays; and from 12noon – 8pm on Saturday and Sundays.
