about
Inspired by the intimate atmosphere of traditional Japanese listening bars, Ember offers music that’s more than just background noise. Immerse yourself in a curated soundscape designed to create a relaxed and inviting experience for true music lovers.
Our kitchen team lead by head chef Oliver D’Arcy, focuses on using the very best seasonal British ingredients cooking on our charcoal grill. Working closely with our trusted suppliers allows us to evolve the menu with seasonal demands using the freshest produce.
Dishes vary from single bite snacks such as chicken liver brioche to shared main courses like deliciously filling Galloway beef rib.
about
At Ember, our focus is on bold, seasonal cooking rooted in the finest British ingredients. Head chef Oliver D’Arcy leads a kitchen where everything centres around the charcoal grill, bringing out deep, smoky flavours in every dish.
Working closely with trusted local suppliers, our menu evolves with the seasons always fresh and ingredient-led. From delicate single-bite snacks like chicken liver parfait to hearty sharing plates such as Galloway beef rib, every dish is part of our social dining concept where all dishes are made to share. Crafted with care and meant to be savoured.
While Ember’s atmosphere takes inspiration from the intimacy of Japanese listening bars, here the food takes centre stage designed to be shared, enjoyed, and remembered.
We offer a host of private dining options on our main restaurant floor catering for up to 42 guests. Alternatively for a more intimate experience, visit our private bar Under The Embers which sits below the main restaurant catering for up to 25 guests.
