To
complete the picture, I should add that there are the usual bits and
pieces – Intros of various breads and antipasti but in an
understated way – keeping it short and definitely appetising.
There
are steaks and salads and a selection of sides too.
There
are many gluten free choices and if there's nothing that takes your
fancy speak up, if there's a dish that you like the look of but isn't
gluten free they'll try and change it for you so it is.
The
staff are lovely – attentive without sitting on your shoulder, if
you know what I mean.
I
couldn't finish these travels without a couple of photos to back up
my mouth, as it were, so here they are :
Grilled
Baby Goats Cheese et al
Twice
Baked Red Leicester & Chive Soufflé
I
should have said at the outset – this menu tempts you to try dishes
with ingredients you wouldn't ordinarily choose. A case in point –
the dreaded piccalilli which is part of the soufflé – this is up
there on my food hate list with sago. This condiment conjures up a
vision, usually at Christmas time, of this bright yellow jar with
huge lumps of stuff – I discovered later it was mixed vegetables –
smothered in a strong mustard dressing, if you can call it that –
ugh!
This
piccalilli with the soufflé was delicious – I'm a changed woman!
Value
for money? The best I've had in a long time.
Would
I go back? In a heartbeat.
