What we ate!
Fortunately, we were allowed to have a sneak peak about the upcoming Summer menu with 9 dishes created by their award winning chef Andrew Cole. Each dish was presented beautifully using all local produce from the area. With each plate’s presentation enhancing its aesthetic appeal, it was almost too good to ruin. The flavours throughout each dish were so contrasting which created a feel of eagerness for what was coming to the table next!
The favourite plates of ours were the Cod and Dark chocolate Tart. The Cod reached the table at a temperature which caught us unexpectedly as most of the dishes were cold. The flavours oozing from the cassoulet make this dish the a delectable choice for the summer being light and fresh for those warmer days. The meringue paired with the fresh strawberry and Ice cream added a crunch to the dish, this also helped to tone down the richness of the chocolate to ensure the plate was not too overwhelming.
What we thought…
This is quite possibly one of our favourite lunch spots to escape the buzz of the city.
