Lovely dining experience. Surprisingly informal yet chilled, and enjoyable.
There were 2 tasting menus - the standard and the prestige. We chose the standard. Without the supplement of truffle linguine.
You start with an amuse bouche trio of lobster and langoustine, pulled beef and one of chickpea
Seasoning spot on
It looked wonderful
First course was a spring dish of garden peas and asparagus custard. Refreshing and sweet but fresh.
First course of jersey royals with cheese foam and asparagus. Its wonderful, cheese was savoury. Potatoes were sliced soft and delicious. A great start
Course 2 was ravioli of lobster and langoustine with a sauce American (like a lobster bisque). It was luxurious and sweet - tasted of the sea with a hint of the med.
The next course was the turbot. The fish flaked beautifully but was perhaps not my fav. Nothing wrong but it ranked below the others. The white asparagus was excellent but perhaps difficult to cut; didnt get given a knife perhaps nxt time we need more than just spoon and fork.
The showcase was the hogget. Every mouthful of the confit meat you got flavour. It was divine. The dish of the day!
There was a hiccup in that my sausage had a tiny bit of bone. They were apologetic and so offered complimentary cheese to us which we gleefully accepted.
The first desert was a sorbet of rhubarb with a vanilla custard. It was stunning to the eye.
The final desert was pecan praline - the desert wine as part of the pairing was aged and v sweep and we were worried would this be a sugar overload. The desert was outstanding and not overtly sweet but still luxurious. You got a sense of coffee, cocoa nib and almond.
Total cost incl service came to £500 per head. It incl the wine pairing.
Food was excellent.
Its one to tick off.
In my top 2 of all time and ive dined at Alain Ducasse, Sketch, Dinner amongst others.
