Peter Weirmarsh is your host for the evening, and there's a real sense of a true family business at work here. The menu changes with the seasons - your starter might be Monkfish in a Mushroom and Walnut Crust, or Spinach & Ricotta Tart. A typical main course could be Breast of chicken filled with sautéed leeks and summer brie wrapped in bacon, served in a white wine sauce. The main course was served with a vast array of vegetables including honey glazed carrots and parsnips, and a butternut squash and potato gratin. Homemade desserts including chocolate cheesecake and delicious panna cotta with fruit finish the meal off nicely before returning to the comfy sofas and relaxing with coffee and homemade biscuits.
At £25.50 per head (plus drinks), you really do get more than just value for money. Canapés on arrival in a comfy sitting room, followed by first course, a lemon sorbet, your main, and finally mouth-watering desserts. Most customers were even asked if they wanted a second dessert... which is possibly the worst question you could ask me!
