# Vegetarians love our signature veg dish – two-cheese croquettes that are crunchy, crispy and golden outside, soft and cheesy (but not too cheesy) inside. Their non-vegetarian companions love them just as much.
* Desserts include a delicious variety: tarts, pies, cheesecake, cakes, chocolate mousse, panna cotta, fresh fruit salads and compotes, fruit-and-custard, and much more to make you feel very, very wicked and very, very happy. Choice of what is made depends largely on the dessert cook (Paddy) and comes as a pleasant surprise at the end of the meal.
