Ewe's menu, crafted by Executive Chef Maros Surovka, is inspired by the four elements: Earth, Water, Air, and Fire. Dishes such as the signature 'Ewe' Shepherd’s Pie, Beef Wellington, and crispy pork belly represent the Earth element, while seafood offerings like lemon sole fillet with Morecambe shrimps embody Water. Air is reflected in poultry dishes like Gressingham duck breast and corn-fed chicken supreme, and Fire is represented by sizzling steaks from the grill. The menu also features pasta, pizza, vegan, and vegetarian options, ensuring a diverse selection for all guests.
Complementing the culinary offerings is an extensive drinks menu, including a range of theatrically served cocktails with whimsical names such as Smoking Tractor, Wheelbarrow, and Pink Ewe.
