This summer, our kitchen has crafted a menu that captures the vibrant spirit of the coast with a sophisticated twist - each dish designed to celebrate the bounty of local produce and the crisp sea air. And with panoramic sea views setting the perfect backdrop, it’s almost as breathtaking as the food on your plate.

Exquisite Starters

Begin your experience with the Fistral Gin Cured Chalk Farm Trout, a delicate and refreshing dish that combines the bright flavours of fennel and a silky watercress emulsion. The highlight? A cool gin & elderflower sorbet paired with a crisp linseed tuille - light yet full of character. This starter pairs beautifully with a glass of Alba Martin Albariño, enhancing the trout’s fresh, citrus notes. Or perhaps the Cornish Mackerel will tempt your palate - served with tangy gooseberry, subtly sweet vanilla, pickled kohlrabi, dukkah, and a touch of horseradish for spice. The aromatic complexity of this dish finds its perfect match in a chilled Knightor White wine, balancing the mackerel’s rich, oily texture.

Mains worth Celebrating

For the main course, sample the Market Fish - a seasonal catch, served atop a luscious Champagne risotto studded with mussels and samphire, finished with fragrant dill oil. This elegant dish is perfectly complemented by another glass of Alba Martin Albariño, tying together the sea-spray freshness of the risotto with the wine’s zesty profile. If you prefer a more hearty option, the Lamb Rump offers a luxurious treat: tender lamb accompanied by boulangère potatoes, vibrant broccoli, baba ganoush, crunchy lamb oats, and a rich jus. This robust plate pairs excellently with a glass of Viña Rioja, its bold character enhancing the lamb’s deep flavours. Vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free? Dune’s summer menu is designed to delight every palate, with creative, seasonal dishes bursting with vibrancy everyone can experience the taste of summer by the sea.

Sweet Summer Endings

No summer meal at Dune would be complete without dessert. The Lemon & Elderflower Cheesecake is a bright, refreshing finale, layered with white chocolate and served alongside lemon curd ice cream. Sip on the delicate and floral Elderflower Drop Cocktail to lift the citrus notes and cleanse the palate. For chocolate lovers, the Iced Chocolate Parfait is an irresistible indulgence - creamy, rich, and garnished with tart griottine cherries and a silky pistachio ganache. A glass of fortified Shiraz provides a decadent finish, its warmth and depth playing off the dessert’s bittersweet harmony.
