Dining with friends, we each chose different dishes to get a feel for the menu and none of us were disappointed. For starters, The Sticky Duck Salad, shredded confit duck leg glazed in a hoisin, honey and plum sauce, served with pomegranite, mango, sping onion and watercress proved to be everyone’s favourite, so fresh and flavoursome, also great as a main course. The Battered Goujons of Haddock are not to be mistaken for the poor offerings you get from the local supermarket, these tasty chunks of fresh white fish in the lightest of batter will not fail to impress, as will the Pan Seared Scallops from the specials menu, on this occasion served with sautéed chestnut in a creamy white sauce.
Our main courses included The Thai Green Curry, a smooth, creamy chicken curry served with coconut rice and prawn crackers – also available with vegetables or fish instead of chicken if preferred.
For the fish lovers the Fillet of Seabass, which I will simply describe as ‘perfect’. Pan fried with parsnip and garlic puree and served with wilted spinac, sugar snaps and roasted new potatoes this dish delivered on all levels and tased as good as it looked. Our final choice of mains just had to be the Pie of the Day – steak and kidney with chunky chips and a pot of tasty gravy. What could be better on a cold winter’s evening than a gourmet pie?
