Well the weather really has turned and even though the sunny days can feel quite warm still, the majority of us are grabbing our sweaters and boots (and intermittently our umbrellas) and heading indoors. Most people would assume Autumn/Winter is all about Red wines but we have another fantastic White on the specials this time, the Ponte De Lima Vihno Verde. A Portuguese wine, it’s paler in colour and is light and zesty, chosen to go with the dishes on this specials’ menu for the first half of October. Aromas of lime and hints of melon, it’s fresh and lively at the same time.
As I write this, my mouth is watering at this starter so it is recommended you try this asap. The Roasted Beef Striploin Bruschetta with jalapeno aioli and parmesan. It’s not something your brain will be able to imagine if you haven’t had these flavours combined before, but that’s exactly why you need to give it a go!
Our pizza is perfect for anyone who loves a classic cheese and ham pizza but wants more of a boujee twist, so try our Truffled Prosciutto Pizza with a bechamel sauce base, goats cheese and parmesan. Why not add some Figurati Fries if you’re feeling fancy too? If pasta is more your thing this one will be gone within seconds of tasting it as it’s extremely moreish …. The Chorizo Rigatoni with cherry tomatoes, spinach, mascarpone, chilli and parmesan. Not as spicy as you may first think, it’s just a little warming and would still go perfectly with the Vihno Verde.
The special-fish-dish as we like to get Nick to say on TikTok is Grilled Wild Sea Bream with saffron potatoes and roasted shellfish sauce really has that luxury feel to the dish and you won’t be disappointed with the flavours. But if you’re not in the mood for a spot of the sea, try the Slow Cooked Pork Belly with olive oil mash, cider braised onions and grilled tenderstem broccoli. Two very luxurious dishes, two very different flavours.
Finally our sweet treat for this round is the Glazed Lemon Tart with raspberry sorbet, just in case the sun decides to come back for a little bit one of these days …….. See you at the bar!
