Starter - King Scallops on Celeriac Puree with Chorizo & Pea Shoots
Debrief - Scallops were opaque inside so perfectly cooked and as chorizo is my favourite meat of all time it was always going to be a winner although some of the scallops had hardly any celeriac with it but i can live with that.
Halibut fillet was enormous and flaked as soon as you cut it, cockles were big and juicy and samphire wonderfully salty which complemented everything so well. Dauphinoise potatoes are always a perfect accompaniment.
The Lemon Meringue Tart was really, really good as it didn't turn up like your run of the mill lemon meringue but rather a solid biscuit base with lemon mousse and then a layer of meringue piped on top with candied lemon peel on top of that. Splodges of raspberry coulis were beside it but they are always so difficult to scoop up so just end up being spread around the plate instead of being eaten.
Highly recommend this gorgeous restaurant for a special occasion.
