Hats off, graduates!

Begin with beef fillet carpaccio, smoked salmon or an ash-baked beetroot salad. The sort of starter that puts a healthy distance between this and a house dinner of beans on toast.

Then the decision that matters. A dictionary-thick fillet cooked properly, our much-loved rib-eye, charcoal-grilled monkfish, or the Winslade Wellington, which is our best argument that vegetarians should never settle. All served with a generous side: beef-dripping chips, creamed spinach, macaroni cheese or our English lettuce salad.

Finish with a pudding we are rightly known for, Sticky Toffee Pudding or Blueberry & basil whipped cheesecake. And because you have earned it, a glass of champagne, on us.

Mi casa, su casa. Come as you are, whether that is the full black gown and cap or your favourite trainers, and let our laidback, switched-on team take care of the rest. Need a top-up for the toast, or a minute to round everyone up for the group photo? Consider it handled.

Four good reasons to celebrate at our place:

• A celebratory menu drawn from the best of what we do, three courses of it.
• Private dining rooms, available on request, for when the group chat turns up in full.
• A day for everyone at the table: the grads, the parents and the proud plus-ones.
• Warm, genuine service that knows when to pour and when to step back, from a team who knows this is a big one.
