EXCEPTIONAL!!!! A MUST TRY!!!!
I came here to try the Chefs Sunday set lunch menu. The service by Luminita and Mark was outstanding, they made me feel welcome from the moment I stepped in to the restaurant. They regularly came up to me and asked me about the food and if I would like anything else and made me feel right at home..I really enjoyed Marks way of putting the cutleries on my table and the sense of humour of Luminita
The first course I opted for was the burrata with balsamic and freshly grated truffle, the burrata was soft and milky, the texture was silky smooth and the burrata was seasoned extremely well.
The second course I went for was the spiced baby chicken which was served with roasted potatoes, mushroom, gravy and seasonal veg, the food was served on a very clean and warm plate, the chicken was cooked to perfection at the right temperature 🌡 and the food was adequately seasoned although taste is subjective, I still cracked some salt and pepper on the Roasted seasonal veg. The waiter kindly offered me sauces and the mustard too was delicious.
For the final course. I had the Apple Tarte Tatin, I was at a loss for words when I tried it out for the first time. The honey, paired with creme fraiche and the flaky texture of the pastry all of it balanced out the sweetness of the wonderfully caramelised Apples. Truly a delight to my senses.
I will definitely be coming back to try the A la Carte. And hopefully bring in more friends to support this independent business. They truly are champions of higher welfare and seasonal ingredients led cooking..
Thank you very much for your hospitality
