When I visited, the winter menu was influenced by traditional and Asian classics. For starter, we chose one of each. For the Asian starter there was sashimi tuna, complimented with wasabi gel, sticky cocunut rice balls, and asian garnishes. A mouthful of every element melted on the tongue.
And for the traditional option there was carpaccio of finest Lincolnshire beef, with horseradish foam, fine shards of truffle, exquisite quail scotch eggs and pickled morel mushrooms. I could have had platefuls of the starter, the combination of elements were classic and yet surprising.
For mains we sampled the cannon of lamb, with deep-fried braised lamb, fondant potato, and ratatouille which cut through the rich meat.
While my father went for the Asian rainbow trout, where the crispy skin and succulent flesh was perfectly balanced by a subtle Asian foam and broth.
To finish a delicious meal we sampled the dessert menu. We chose the super rich tonka bean mousse with orange gel, caramelised orange segments, toasted marshmallow, and pistachio foam.
Meanwhile, my mum had the raspberry sorbet with lemon gel, crisp meringues and fresh blackberry's; a mouth-watering palate cleanser.
For a quintessential British gastro-pub, the food rivals the very best restaurants. success lies in the chef's ability to surprise the palate through the combination of classic flavours, cooked using the very best in modern techniques.
