This hotel restaurant could easily be a stand alone, Headed up by executive chef Paul Bates who utilises the freshest seasonal produce from both specialist suppliers and the local traders at the neighbouring Borough Market.
Being my second visit and having had a great experience, I decided to recommend this little gem for my friends 40th.
The 3 course set menu which included a glass of Fizz for £21 went down a treat.
The chefs delivered course after course of amazing food from starters of Grimbsy cod cakes, pancetta, rabbit and snails on fried bread and a veloute of aromatic lentils. "Clean plates all round washed down with a glass of fizz"
'Mains'
Mouth watering Blade of beef marinated in 5 spice, accompanied by mash, violet potatoes and coriander shoots washed down with a Spanish Tempranillo.
I opted to have the delicately poached sea bass salmon and crab "my palette had gone to heaven" this dish was light, refreshing and packed with flavour.
'Dessert'
A fantastic selection of desserts tonight from an AGEN Armagnac infused prune creme brûlée to a a decadent black forest trifle and a fairly generous portion of Oxford white cheese with charcoal biscuits.
Tonight the chefs were the stars sending out top notch well seasoned food that was beautiful presented. As always we had friendly attentive service.
The little happy birthday cheese cake and limoncello shots were a great ending to a fantastic evening.
Total spend for the evening was £226,69 for the 8 set menus, 4 cokes and the bottle of wine plus service.
Following my last review this place gets upgraded to 5 stars.
Already looking forward to next months menu.
