Why are we called Les Rosbifs?
According to linguistics expert Professor Richard Coates of Sussex University the phrase was originally used as a gastronomic term, referring to the English style of cooking beef. "Rosbifs became a mark of the Englishman as far as the French were concerned in the 18th Century, simply because it was a very popular way of cooking and became part of the French vocabulary, like "le weekend",
By 1850, the phrase had been extended to mean Englishmen themselves. William Makepeace Thackeray wrote in The Virginians: "Only my white cockade and coat had saved me from the fate which the other canaille [rabble] of Rosbifs had deservedly met with."

We are extremely proud of our Roast Beef heritage and we hope you will be too when you taste our best quality beef (not to mention our lamb, pork and game).
But that's only part of our story - we are a small family run restaurant passionate about really using local seasonal produce in our dishes. Find out why we think so here. So whether you join us for brunch, lunch or dinner we will be able to offer you a very warm welcome and a slice of something delicious. |
