The hero of our menu is Pizza, we have a large Oven all the way from the states. Based on the traditional Napoli style pizza found in Southern Italy, the dough at The Freeport is made from just a few ingredients. It’s then rested for 96 hours before it’s hand stretched, oven fired and topped with fresh ingredients—think prosciutto, rocket and pecorino. The results are pretty delicious. We don’t just do pizza though, there are wide range of options that cater for all including vegan and gluten free. The head chef has worked under Heston Blumenthal in London, so you know the food is going to be good.

The Yard – A flexible space suitable for any event which boasts a retractable roof and direct access to the bar.
