It has been a whirlwind…
It has been a bit of a whirlwind of a month. First re-opening, then launching our outside dining terrace, then ‘Eat Out to Help Out’... We haven’t actually stopped, but it has been fantastic to see everybody again.
Things do feel different but we’re so pleased to see how people are working together to make sure we are keeping each other safe.
The one thing we missed more than anything during lockdown was the social interaction with our guests. There’s really nothing better than being around other people.
We were blessed, for at least a whole week, with beautiful weather, which made dining outside such a lovely experience for everybody. We are hoping for some more sunshine in what’s left of the summer but we‘re also putting some plans in place to see how we can make it more usable when it’s a little chillier – so watch this space.
On top of all of that, we’ve just launched a brand new lunch menu, as we do every month, that really makes the most of some brilliant seasonal ingredients.
Adam and the team have been creating lots of delicious new dishes that you can view here.
We are grateful, as ever, for your support and look forward to seeing you again very soon.
Thank you for your continued support,
Daniel and Margriet
What we're eating
Cured Salmon with Avocado and Onion / Gnocchi with Mushroom and Sweetcorn
We’re being greedy this month and recommending two dishes from our new lunch menu. The Cured Salmon with Avocado and Onion is made with stunning premium cured Scottish Salmon.
And our Gnocchi with Mushroom and Sweetcorn is light and full of flavour.
What we're drinking
2013, Wanted Man 3 Strikes, Victoria, Australia
We’re really enjoying this blend of Viognier, Roussanne, and Marsanne. It has golden straw hues, high notes of hedgerows and mint, and lots of nectarine and red apples. You may also get a hint of fresh grass and spring meadow flowers.
It’s perfect for those who like aromatic wines with a nice body.
