The Month of May

Hi everyone the new menu's are up and naturally we had to have a test run on some guinea pigs to make sure everything is perfect.  Whats the saying? "A picture speaks a thousand words" so what's the the word that pops into your head?

Starter: Ham terrine, pineapple chutney, poached egg

Mains: Sea bass, balsamic tomatoes, grilled asparagus

Dessert:  Chocolate and salted caramel tart

I know what ours are but thats because we've tasted it!  This is May's menu, if you fancy trying this menu you can email us or call on 07971 712032 and speak to Bob.

Winter warmers

Goodbye old year hello 2013!

We trust everyone has had a wonderful christmas.  For us January is not a blue month (although you could say its more of a white one), it's a chance to perfect those winter warmers that we love so much in these cold nights.  At this time of year you need comfort food to keep spirits high so on sunday we made a gorgeous chicken, ham and mushroom pie for tea.  After a hard afternoon of making a snowman with one of our littlest family members it was nice to all sit down and enjoy the perfect winter meal, served with roast potatoes, carrots, and peas.  Roast potatoes are the best to serve with it because the creamy sauce in the pie is perfect for dipping in (tip!).  

We were thinking of doing a pie night, 2 courses, a savoury and a sweet pie for tea. If anyone is interest you can email us

oh and the snowman's name is Patrick...just incase anyone was wondering.

It's Party Time!

December has turned out to be a very busy month for us, we've had three christmas parties already and each one has been better than the last.  Because it was christmas we decorated the dining room and had festive music playing,  just made the night extra special for our guests.

We didn't want to do a traditional christmas menu because you can get that anywhere, for the starter our guests had a goats cheese souffle accompanied with beetroot chutney, for main was a perfectly cooked chicken breast stuffed with spinach, pancetta, red onion and cream cheese.  And for dessert an amazing trio of chocolate mousse flavoured with cherry, baileys and amaretto.

5 Course Treat

Well I promised photographs so here they are! Last friday was a raving success everyone loved the food and the atmosphere was great.  The red wine that the girls brought over went perfectly with the lamb, it was a Cotes Du Rhone and there was not a drop left.  The chef added a pre starter to the menu as a bit of a taster which was a red pepper and tomato soup, that was a nice surprise to them and they loved it!  Also we used this opportunity to try out a new dessert, it was liquorice and blackcurrant parfait.  Its nice to get different reactions when we try out new recipes so if you ever come for tea you could be one of our guinea pigs too.

The girls have booked in again and have also been asking about christmas! not too surprising really it won't be long until we see the christmas dec's and food in the supermarket.

We're now trying something new when you book your table,  we are going to give you a selection of starters, mains and desserts and you get to choose your favourites, that way you can have an even better night.  There's a selection that we have put on our menu page so have a look and see which combination you'd like remember you can ring or email us anytime.

lamb for friday night

The lamb recipe for friday nights tea requires a lot of meat.  We have a local butcher that we like to visit but this time Sainsbury's had some very good quality cuts of lamb,  depending on the people having tea you need two to three full racks.  Don't worry, we will let you see the dish when its cooked and ready to enjoy.

our 1st night!

Last week was our 1st night cooking for a group of people.  Six friends enjoyed a perfect evening of laughter, great food and drink, everyone was so impressed they even took some of our white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake home with them!

After the success of this night we can't wait to get some more bookings and try out some other of our dishes.
